We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader,
Grapple X (
submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall.
Miyagawa (
submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by
Casliber (
submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored
Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.
This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user,
Muboshgu (
submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list,
1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. 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 or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from

Greetings! I have noticed your work from time to time. I am a biographer of musicians, primarily in the English Wikipedia. I am experienced, but know little about use of computers and how some wiki-tasks can be done. I was wondering if you might be able to tutor or help in some work here (mainly in dealing with images, which are my specialty in finding and uploading to Commons). I've uploaded and placed approx. 1,700 photos. The list has a link above my tiny gallery on my user-page, an almost complete list. I edit, negotiate for new photos from outside the Wikipedia, and clean up old articles, which often have only a few sentences! I need the help from others doing things like removing watermarks from photos already placed in articles here. I've requested help but the person who answered told me to "make a list of every article needing help, and then he can look at that and see what he can do. How to tell someone when it's a never-ending process? Some are my fault from my earliest uploads, not knowing (then) to tell photographers in Flickr to remove watermarks in advance of upload. Others I find while surfing for references for some articles to find references also used in them. Some need lightening, removal of frames, cropping, that kind of thing. Would you be willing to help with any of these articles' photos if I list them a little at a time? I don't have the knowledge, experience or updated computer to get those things done. If not, I'll sure appreciate it if you know anyone who might be willing to help. Thanks so much for your time! Please join the above-mentioned WikiProject, and help clean up old stubs before beginning some less noteworthy new projects! -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 05:42, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Gobonobo! If you have some time to review the quality of some articles, we're using the results for a really important research project that will help shape the future of the US/Canada Education Program. For a few projects, we're on a pretty tight timeline and are really eager to have many more of these articles reviewed over the next week. However, we think it's most useful to come from experienced Wikipedia editors.
I have gone through each class to prioritize for various projects, and everyone on the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation would be extremely grateful if you could participate by reviewing a few articles ('pre' and 'post' versions). If we can rally a lot of editors to review one or two articles each day, we will be able to make the most use of this research for our tight timeline. As many of our Ambassadors have requested it, we are really eager to find out which classes have been successful according to the Wikipedian standard.
If you can spare some time, please check out these priority articles and give it a go. Even 1 or 2 a day would help immensely! JMathewson (WMF) ( talk) 02:10, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working. We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's
igordebraga (
submissions), who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's
Grapple X (
submissions), whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's
Muboshgu (
submissions), with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.
A quick note about other competitions taking place on Wikipedia which may be of interest. There are 13 days remaining in the June-July GAN backlog elimination drive, but it is not too late to take part. August will also see the return of The Core Contest- a one month long competition first run in 2007. While the WikiCup awards points for audited content on any subject, The Core Contest about is raw article improvement, focussing heavily on the most important articles on Wikipedia.

Thank you for uploading File:Mircea Nedelciu.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 21:18, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader,
Grapple X (
submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall.
Miyagawa (
submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by
Casliber (
submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored
Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.
This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user,
Muboshgu (
submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list,
1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. 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 or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from

Greetings! I have noticed your work from time to time. I am a biographer of musicians, primarily in the English Wikipedia. I am experienced, but know little about use of computers and how some wiki-tasks can be done. I was wondering if you might be able to tutor or help in some work here (mainly in dealing with images, which are my specialty in finding and uploading to Commons). I've uploaded and placed approx. 1,700 photos. The list has a link above my tiny gallery on my user-page, an almost complete list. I edit, negotiate for new photos from outside the Wikipedia, and clean up old articles, which often have only a few sentences! I need the help from others doing things like removing watermarks from photos already placed in articles here. I've requested help but the person who answered told me to "make a list of every article needing help, and then he can look at that and see what he can do. How to tell someone when it's a never-ending process? Some are my fault from my earliest uploads, not knowing (then) to tell photographers in Flickr to remove watermarks in advance of upload. Others I find while surfing for references for some articles to find references also used in them. Some need lightening, removal of frames, cropping, that kind of thing. Would you be willing to help with any of these articles' photos if I list them a little at a time? I don't have the knowledge, experience or updated computer to get those things done. If not, I'll sure appreciate it if you know anyone who might be willing to help. Thanks so much for your time! Please join the above-mentioned WikiProject, and help clean up old stubs before beginning some less noteworthy new projects! -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 05:42, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Gobonobo! If you have some time to review the quality of some articles, we're using the results for a really important research project that will help shape the future of the US/Canada Education Program. For a few projects, we're on a pretty tight timeline and are really eager to have many more of these articles reviewed over the next week. However, we think it's most useful to come from experienced Wikipedia editors.
I have gone through each class to prioritize for various projects, and everyone on the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation would be extremely grateful if you could participate by reviewing a few articles ('pre' and 'post' versions). If we can rally a lot of editors to review one or two articles each day, we will be able to make the most use of this research for our tight timeline. As many of our Ambassadors have requested it, we are really eager to find out which classes have been successful according to the Wikipedian standard.
If you can spare some time, please check out these priority articles and give it a go. Even 1 or 2 a day would help immensely! JMathewson (WMF) ( talk) 02:10, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working. We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's
igordebraga (
submissions), who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's
Grapple X (
submissions), whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's
Muboshgu (
submissions), with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.
A quick note about other competitions taking place on Wikipedia which may be of interest. There are 13 days remaining in the June-July GAN backlog elimination drive, but it is not too late to take part. August will also see the return of The Core Contest- a one month long competition first run in 2007. While the WikiCup awards points for audited content on any subject, The Core Contest about is raw article improvement, focussing heavily on the most important articles on Wikipedia.

Thank you for uploading File:Mircea Nedelciu.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 21:18, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi there - I noticed that you edited List of C-SPAN Q&A interviews first aired in 2012 recently. (Which is great, because I was starting to wonder how many people were taking an interest in it.) May I ask, do you have an interest in C-SPAN or that show, or do you have more of an interest in that author ( Gretchen Morgenson), or did you just happen across it as a random fact that you wanted to add? Just curious. Thanks! KConWiki ( talk) 00:56, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Roaring Lion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Calypso ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
