In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Sasata ( submissions), Hawkeye7 ( submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and Casliber ( submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).
The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.
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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

There is a proposal on Wikipedia:Bot requests#New REFBot for a new REFBot working as DPL bot and BracketBot do. I beg politely for consideration. Please leave a comment if you wish.

The WikiCup is over for another year! Our champion, for the second year running, is Cwmhiraeth ( submissions). Our final nine were as follows:
All those who reached the final win prizes, and prizes will also be going to the following participants:
Prizes will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. While it has been an excellent year, errors have opened up the judges' eyes to the need for a third judge, and it is with pleasure that we announce that experienced WikiCup participant Miyagawa will be acting as a judge from now on. We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the team.
Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. Brainstorming and discussion remains open for how next year's competition will work, and straw polls will be opened by the judges soon. Those interested in friendly competition may also like to keep an eye on the stub contest, being organised by Casliber. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2014 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi, I noticed that you had been involved with the Heraldry by country template before at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Heraldry_and_vexillology/Heraldry_by_country
I've had a bit of a disagreement over it, should the template be redesigned to make it more flexible? The person is saying the article Cornish heraldry shouldn't be on there as it's not a country, just a region "like Flanders or Wallonia" but hasn't removed Frisia from the list.

Hi!
m:MassMessage is the MediaWiki replacement for user:EdwardsBot, which I know the Signpost uses. I believe MZMcBride is planning on shutting off the bot and global message delivery when it goes live. I currently have an API module pending review at gerrit:87311 ( docs), could you check that it would meet your needs? The API module won't make it in with the initial deployment, so Ed will probably need to deliver it manually for a week.
Thanks, Legoktm ( talk) 06:05, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

You salted the article " Forced Entertainment", but it seems as if in the time between salting that the AFC has finally met the GNG requirement and I believe it should be created. It has numerous small sources, one dedicated book source and history spanning two decades. I noticed it when I went to pass it at AFC. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 11:55, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Jarry1250! I was asking some toolserver users about their favourite tools. Your svgtranslate was mentioned in that context. :) I see you are already active in Tool Labs. What's your plan about migrating svgtranslate? Do you know why it's broken on toolserver? If you need support to get the work done, please poke me! Silke WMDE ( talk) 08:54, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
Is your SVGtranslate tool working somewhere ? I just tried a translation using the {translate} template ( {translate}). It's broken on toolserver. Do you know of any currently working alternative ? Yug (talk) 18:32, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi
Richard N from the WMUK office tells me you sorted out their calendar so you can download an iCal version which is really great, I tried adding the web version of the calendar to my Google mail but it says Could not fetch the URL because robots.txt prevents us from crawling the URL. Do you know who could fix this?

Hello Jarry1250, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Hi Harry/Jarry; is the bot ready for the 2014 WikiCup? There have been some rules changes- featured portals are now worth 45 points, and old DYKs (which is articles created in 2008 or earlier, not 2007 or earlier as it was last year) are now awarded 5 bonus points. The other changes shouldn't affect the bot. Thanks! J Milburn ( talk) 19:51, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Me again! For whatever reason, the bot seems to be listing everything multiple times on the submission page. Would you be able to tell it to list each entry only once? (Obviously, if something is placed on multiple submission pages, or something is put back after being taken off, that would be useful to know.) Thanks! J Milburn ( talk) 19:24, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Jarry
Thanks very much for getting back to me, I tried tools.wmflabs.org/wmukevents/?retry and it gave me a calendar that works in Google Calendar, I'll improve the documentation on the UK wiki for adding the calendar on the weekend.
Thanks again

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

LivingBot seems to be running but has not updated Wikipedia:Good articles/recent in the last 46 hours. I have had three articles pass GA in that time. Please advise.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:16, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed you were the last person who protected Young Thug against creation. The article has been salted due to repeated recreation between 2006 and 2007. However, currently there is a notable musician, going by that name, and I could create a proper article about him, if you unsalt it. Media coverage includes multiple articles in XXL, Complex, Vibe, Pitchfork Media, Rolling Stone, and The Source among others. His 2013 songs and mixtape are also featured in a number of year-end lists: Rolling Stone: [1], [2], Complex: [3], Spin: [4], Pitchfork: [5], FACT: [6], Vice: [7] and even The Guardian: [8]. In addition, the page has constantly been on the WP:TOPRED for the last few months. 2Flows ( talk) 00:43, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
I see that SVGCheck on WMFlabs can now properly render Traditional Chinese but not Simplified Chinese. Also the font is still different than those installed on Wikimedia. Is there any technical difficulty that WMFlabs can not have the exact same set of typefaces? Sorry for my ignorance of how WMFlabs/Toolserver works. -- Sameboat - 同舟 ( talk) 08:52, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Harry- sorry for constantly badgering you about bot tweaks, but the bot got it wrong here. Basically, it should be checking for interwikis from before the start of the year (see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Bonus points), precisely to stop this sort of thing- all of the articles on other Wikipedias were created this year (and by the user who wrote the enwp article). Is this something you'd be able to fix easily? J Milburn ( talk) 19:43, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
The bot's not picking up the topic for some reason? Any ideas? J Milburn ( talk) 14:30, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Godot13 ( submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.
Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.
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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:
Other competitors of note include:
After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Godot13 ( submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Adam Cuerden ( submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Cliftonian ( submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.
With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April.

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Adam Cuerden ( submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Godot13 ( submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's ChrisGualtieri ( submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Cliftonian ( submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Caponer ( submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Reid,iain james ( submissions), tiger from Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) and The Lion King from Igordebraga ( submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Czar ( submissions) and Red Phoenix ( submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.
192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals.

I just tried the SVG check tool for the first time, just to see how faithfully it rendered what Wikimedia is going to do. Sadly, it failed on the very first file that I tried, File:Mechanical filter resonator modes.svg. The bottom two disc shaped resonators were both missing their sides in the tool rendering. However, they are shown correctly on both my local version (displayed in Inkscape) and the uploaded version displayed by Wikimedia (both the Wikipedia and Commons versions).

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 ( submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Casliber ( submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard ( submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to 12george1 ( submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Figureskatingfan ( submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Cloudz679 ( submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Sven Manguard ( submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Sasata ( submissions), Hawkeye7 ( submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and Casliber ( submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).
The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.
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.

The WikiCup is over for another year! Our champion, for the second year running, is Cwmhiraeth ( submissions). Our final nine were as follows:
All those who reached the final win prizes, and prizes will also be going to the following participants:
Prizes will be handed out in the coming weeks. Please be patient!
Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have achieved this year. Thanks to all who have taken part and helped out with the competition. While it has been an excellent year, errors have opened up the judges' eyes to the need for a third judge, and it is with pleasure that we announce that experienced WikiCup participant Miyagawa will be acting as a judge from now on. We hope you will all join us in welcoming him to the team.
Next year's competition begins on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; it is open to all Wikipedians, new and old. Brainstorming and discussion remains open for how next year's competition will work, and straw polls will be opened by the judges soon. Those interested in friendly competition may also like to keep an eye on the stub contest, being organised by Casliber. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2014 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi, I noticed that you had been involved with the Heraldry by country template before at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Heraldry_and_vexillology/Heraldry_by_country
I've had a bit of a disagreement over it, should the template be redesigned to make it more flexible? The person is saying the article Cornish heraldry shouldn't be on there as it's not a country, just a region "like Flanders or Wallonia" but hasn't removed Frisia from the list.

Hi!
m:MassMessage is the MediaWiki replacement for user:EdwardsBot, which I know the Signpost uses. I believe MZMcBride is planning on shutting off the bot and global message delivery when it goes live. I currently have an API module pending review at gerrit:87311 ( docs), could you check that it would meet your needs? The API module won't make it in with the initial deployment, so Ed will probably need to deliver it manually for a week.

You salted the article " Forced Entertainment", but it seems as if in the time between salting that the AFC has finally met the GNG requirement and I believe it should be created. It has numerous small sources, one dedicated book source and history spanning two decades. I noticed it when I went to pass it at AFC. ChrisGualtieri ( talk) 11:55, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi
Richard N from the WMUK office tells me you sorted out their calendar so you can download an iCal version which is really great, I tried adding the web version of the calendar to my Google mail but it says Could not fetch the URL because robots.txt prevents us from crawling the URL.

Hello Jarry1250, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Hi Harry/Jarry; is the bot ready for the 2014 WikiCup? There have been some rules changes- featured portals are now worth 45 points, and old DYKs (which is articles created in 2008 or earlier, not 2007 or earlier as it was last year) are now awarded 5 bonus points. The other changes shouldn't affect the bot. Thanks! J Milburn ( talk) 19:51, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Me again! For whatever reason, the bot seems to be listing everything multiple times on the submission page. Would you be able to tell it to list each entry only once? (Obviously, if something is placed on multiple submission pages, or something is put back after being taken off, that would be useful to know.) Thanks! J Milburn ( talk) 19:24, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Jarry
Thanks very much for getting back to me, I tried tools.wmflabs.org/wmukevents/?retry and it gave me a calendar that works in Google Calendar, I'll improve the documentation on the UK wiki for adding the calendar on the weekend.
Thanks again

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Hello, I noticed you were the last person who protected Young Thug against creation. The article has been salted due to repeated recreation between 2006 and 2007. However, currently there is a notable musician, going by that name, and I could create a proper article about him, if you unsalt it. Media coverage includes multiple articles in XXL, Complex, Vibe, Pitchfork Media, Rolling Stone, and The Source among others. His 2013 songs and mixtape are also featured in a number of year-end lists: Rolling Stone: [1], [2], Complex: [3], Spin: [4], Pitchfork: [5], FACT: [6], Vice: [7] and even The Guardian: [8]. In addition, the page has constantly been on the WP:TOPRED for the last few months. 2Flows ( talk) 00:43, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
I see that SVGCheck on WMFlabs can now properly render Traditional Chinese but not Simplified Chinese. Also the font is still different than those installed on Wikimedia. Is there any technical difficulty that WMFlabs can not have the exact same set of typefaces?

Hi Harry- sorry for constantly badgering you about bot tweaks, but the bot got it wrong here. Basically, it should be checking for interwikis from before the start of the year (see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Bonus points), precisely to stop this sort of thing- all of the articles on other Wikipedias were created this year (and by the user who wrote the enwp article). Is this something you'd be able to fix easily? J Milburn ( talk) 19:43, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

The 2014 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with, at time of writing, 138 participants. The is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2010. If you are yet to join the competition, don't worry- the judges have agreed to keep the signups open for a few more days. By a wide margin, our current leader is newcomer Godot13 ( submissions), whose set of 14 featured pictures, the first FPs of the competition, was worth 490 points. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
Featured articles, featured lists, featured topics and featured portals are yet to play a part in the competition. The judges have removed a number of submissions which were deemed ineligible. Typically, we aim to see work on a project, followed by a nomination, followed by promotion, this year. We apologise for any disappointment caused by our strict enforcement this year; we're aiming to keep the competition as fair as possible.
Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may be interested to take part in The Core Contest; unlike the WikiCup, The Core Contest is not about audited content, but, like the WikiCup, it is about article improvement; specifically, The Core Contest is about contribution to some of Wikipedia's most important article. Of course, any work done for The Core Contest, if it leads to a DYK, GA or FA, can earn WikiCup points.

And so ends the most competitive first round we have ever seen, with 38 points required to qualify for round 2. Last year, 19 points secured a place; before that, 11 (2012) or 8 (2011) were enough. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it shows the vigourous good health of the competition, it also means that we have already lost many worthy competitors. Our top three scorers were:
Other competitors of note include:
After such a competitive first round, expect the second round to also be fiercely fought. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2, but please do not update your submission page until March (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Godot13 ( submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Adam Cuerden ( submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Cliftonian ( submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.
With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April.

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Adam Cuerden ( submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Godot13 ( submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's ChrisGualtieri ( submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Cliftonian ( submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Caponer ( submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Reid,iain james ( submissions), tiger from Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) and The Lion King from Igordebraga ( submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Czar ( submissions) and Red Phoenix ( submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.
192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals.

I just tried the SVG check tool for the first time, just to see how faithfully it rendered what Wikimedia is going to do. Sadly, it failed on the very first file that I tried, File:Mechanical filter resonator modes.svg. The bottom two disc shaped resonators were both missing their sides in the tool rendering. However, they are shown correctly on both my local version (displayed in Inkscape) and the uploaded version displayed by Wikimedia (both the Wikipedia and Commons versions).

Vidkun Quisling, voicing well both the praise of his supporters ("a conscientious administrator of the highest order, knowledgeable and with an eye for detail. ... balanced and gentle to a fault, a leader who cared deeply about his people and maintained high moral standards throughout") and the criticism of his opponents ("unstable and undisciplined, abrupt, even threatening"), continuing "Quite possibly he was both", - you are an
awesome Wikipedian!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Welfare economics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Convexity ( 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.

Greetings Jarry,
I know you have not much time, but let ask something. What did you to plan with your useful tool SVG Translate? Will there be any fix/update in future? Best regards → User: Perhelion 15:44, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Are you going to / have you already migrated the CIDR range contributions tool to Labs. Just saw the warning on the tool that the toolserver is imminently closing down. Spinning Spark 00:39, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
I can't query any title at all. This is the shown error:
Notice: Undefined variable: I18n in /data/project/grep/public_html/index.php on line 83 Fatal error: Call to a member function msg() on a non-object in /data/project/grep/public_html/index.php on line 83

As we can good see on this file: Topographic_map_of_Cape_Verde-de.svg, SVG Check shows that some fonts are missing (I know that you know that but I give you an example :P. Also some other people are wondering about this and don't fixed the file.) Bye → User: Perhelion 21:57, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 ( submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Casliber ( submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard ( submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to 12george1 ( submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Figureskatingfan ( submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Cloudz679 ( submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Sven Manguard ( submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help 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!

Hi
I use your svg check for the files I create but now it seems like the url's at
tools list and for me right now
svg check is not working.
Do you know what is wrong or am I using a false url?
Looking forward for your input, thanks --
