Jaguar, thanks for the brief c/e on Tamannaah filmography, which i guess is not complete yet. When you are done with it and are really free, can you please leave your comments there? I wish to make Eega a FA and i opine that your suggestions would help me improve it. Regards, Pavanjandhyala ( talk) 09:50, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
Haven't been too lucky, Jaguar. The list has lost its stability within hours after your c/e, and it reached a conclusion today. So, rather than waiting and sitting idle, i've listed it at the GOCE. Hoping for the best. :) Pavanjandhyala ( talk) 15:53, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

2016 GA Cup - Round 3
![]() Hello, GA Cup competitors! Thursday saw the end of Round 2. Sainsf once again took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 996 (a higher score then he received in Round 1!). In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 541 points, and in third place, Carbrera received 419 points. In Round 2, 142 reviews were completed! At the beginning of April, there were 486 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 384. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [1]; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months. [2] It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep lowering the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard. We had an unusual occurrence happen in Round 2: because only one contestant submitted reviews in one pool, we selected the contestant with the next highest score to move forward to Round 3. (There will be a rule change for future competitions in case something like this happens again.) For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 3 will start on May 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on May 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here. Good luck and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Hi, I noticed that you are reviewing the Cameron article for GA and I took a look over it myself. I am quite interested in UK politics and have a lot of experience with biography articles. I've checked the referencing and I've found multiple issues. I've posted them below, and it might save you having to go through it in such detail. As a note, the full references are copied out with comments after them; the references have lost their formatting in the process, but that doesn't matter.

2016 GA Cup - Round 3
![]() Hello, GA Cup competitors! Tuesday saw the end of Round 3. Sainsf, for the third time, won with a sizable 487 points and a shocking 29 articles reviewed. In second, MPJ-DK had 168 points and 7 reviewed articles. In second place, MPJ-DK earned 168 points with just 7 articles, and in third place, Carbrera received 137 points with just 9 articles. Our two wildcard slots went to J Milburn with 122 points and Sturmvogel 66 with 101 points. In Round 3, 65 reviews were completed! At the beginning of the GA Cup, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 3, there were 394. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of the GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [3]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [4]—nothing before 2016. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Finals for the GA Cup so that are successes continue. To qualify for the Finals, contestants had to earn the highest scores in each of the three pools in Round 3; plus, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users in all of the pools. For the Finals, users were placed in one pool of the remaining five users. To win the GA Cup, you must have the most points. The Finals started on June 1 at 0:00:01 UTC' and end on June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about the Finals and the pools can be found here. A clarification: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We wish all the contestants the best of luck! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Wow - what an erudite examination of the problems pointed out. By the way, I have been around for ten years as well, but I guess you did not notice. A GA review which takes under two full hours, I suppose, is your idea of adequate time. Neither of mine were anywhere near as rapid.

Ritchie, please stop commenting on things you know little about. I've read seven books and heavily researched this. The article did no such thing as claim he was gay, not even the lede. Every major biography of Cary Grant extensively discusses Grant and Scott's relationship bringing up the nature of it, even the neutral biographers think it was worth mentioning in quite some detail, so much so that there was some weight placed on it in the article discussion quite rightly as we report what reputable sources extensively disucss. I didn't name headers "rumors", other people did that. At the time I wrote the lede I simply summarised the article fully. Now I've condensed it to barely a few lines then it's not worth mentioning. The lede did summarize what is widely documented in dozens of reputable sources. SImilarly the use of LSD is covered extensively with chapters devoted to it even in all the major biographies, and even his own daughter verifies that. So please stop talking about red flags and have some respect for me.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:56, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that, while you really beefed up the Donkey Kong Country 3 article, you also removed many of the citations I added. I don't edit Wikipedia that often, and it's even rarer when I make big edits like I myself did for DKC3, but I thought that having more citations was a good thing, especially since it said the article needed more citations. When does it become too much? Condontdoit296 ( talk) 23:03, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

![]() Hello, GA Cup competitors! It has been brought to our attention that we made a mistake in the last newsletter. In the last newsletter, we said that the "4th place" overall would make the Final along with the top user from each pool. However, the users who will advance will be the top user from each pool along with "4th and 5th place" overall. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that we caused. Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to

Hello J. The COI report about Dr. Blofeld is, as you so rightly point out, laughable. It can't even be an April 1st prank since we are weeks beyond that date :-) Dr B's post about Sofana D is a great response. FYI last year I was part of one moment almost as silly.

2016 GA Cup - Round 3
![]() Hello, GA Cup competitors! Tuesday saw the end of Round 3. Sainsf, for the third time, won with a sizable 487 points and a shocking 29 articles reviewed. In second, MPJ-DK had 168 points and 7 reviewed articles. In second place, MPJ-DK earned 168 points with just 7 articles, and in third place, Carbrera received 137 points with just 9 articles. Our two wildcard slots went to J Milburn with 122 points and Sturmvogel 66 with 101 points. In Round 3, 65 reviews were completed! At the beginning of the GA Cup, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 3, there were 394. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of the GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [3]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [4]—nothing before 2016. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Finals for the GA Cup so that are successes continue. To qualify for the Finals, contestants had to earn the highest scores in each of the three pools in Round 3; plus, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users in all of the pools. For the Finals, users were placed in one pool of the remaining five users. To win the GA Cup, you must have the most points. The Finals started on June 1 at 0:00:01 UTC' and end on June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about the Finals and the pools can be found here. A clarification: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We wish all the contestants the best of luck! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Hey Jaguar, if you find some time would you mind reviewing Waiting for GA? It's a relatively small article. It would be greatly appreciated! Numerounovedant Talk 12:08, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
Please note the ones I point out at the GA review page, I would hate to have to contest this for sure, but I suggest that it is not ready for prime-time. Collect ( talk) 15:41, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Neither are you ready for prime time Collect, in fact you wouldn't make a 4 am slot on the Price Drop channel. You represent everything wrong with wikipedia and the snivelling, tedious little oiks which operate here sneaking around and trying to hamper the efforts of others to promote their own agenda. If you "contest" the promotion, you'll have proved me and eveyrbody else here who thinks you a tedious bore right...
Oh and happy 7th birthday Jaguar!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:55, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Wow - what an erudite examination of the problems pointed out. By the way, I have been around for ten years as well, but I guess you did not notice. A GA review which takes under two full hours, I suppose, is your idea of adequate time. Neither of mine were anywhere near as rapid. Oh - you probably should turn spell check "on". y the way, my "agenda" is clear in the Joseph Widney article. Collect ( talk) 16:30, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Ritchie, please stop commenting on things you know little about. I've read seven books and heavily researched this. The article did no such thing as claim he was gay, not even the lede. Every major biography of Cary Grant extensively discusses Grant and Scott's relationship bringing up the nature of it, even the neutral biographers think it was worth mentioning in quite some detail, so much so that there was some weight placed on it in the article discussion quite rightly as we report what reputable sources extensively disucss. I didn't name headers "rumors", other people did that. At the time I wrote the lede I simply summarised the article fully. Now I've condensed it to barely a few lines then it's not worth mentioning. The lede did summarize what is widely documented in dozens of reputable sources. SImilarly the use of LSD is covered extensively with chapters devoted to it even in all the major biographies, and even his own daughter verifies that. So please stop talking about red flags and have some respect for me.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:56, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that, while you really beefed up the Donkey Kong Country 3 article, you also removed many of the citations I added. I don't edit Wikipedia that often, and it's even rarer when I make big edits like I myself did for DKC3, but I thought that having more citations was a good thing, especially since it said the article needed more citations. When does it become too much? Condontdoit296 ( talk) 23:03, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Enjoy your break. Much needed I think. Yes at the moment with the hostility and the peak of the hayfever season feels head feels pretty bunged up at the moment! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:26, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
