...I hope you're prepared to settle down a bit. Editing Wikipedia is fun, but you will be blocked if you step one inch out of line, so you'll have to be on your best behaviour. If you want advice at any time, just ask me. -- Elen of the Roads ( talk) 20:51, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Following your conditional unblocking, and with the approval of Drini and DragonflySixtyseven, I have added an entry to Wikipedia:Editing restrictions (see here), detailing the conditions you have accepted. -- PhantomSteve/ talk| contribs\ 01:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, you added this common name, but is this not also used for other species of Crataegus? Perhaps it should be on the Crataegus page instead. Also, is that common name used in English? Nadiatalent ( talk) 13:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I've undone your edit to Kyu Sakamoto, because frankly it made absolutely no sense. His song "Sukiyaki" was already mentioned in the section above the one you edited, so his second hit in the U.S. could not have been "Sukiyaki". Graham 87 04:56, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, (as if things weren't bad enough :) )
You'll likely not be pleased about this, but I have suppressed a number of edits to your userspace, including your userpage and userboxes, which reveal personal information about yourself and your family. I've done this per policy, for your own protection and safety on-line, as you are a self-declared minor. I'm really sorry about that, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add it - Alison ❤ 03:27, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
Under the condition to not disturb anymore. This block is not necessary for the redirect and the insult, since that's not what I meant. Anybody can get wrong sometimes. This is really annoying to request unblocks each 12 hours, but I, voluntarilly agreed the conditions that Jayron gave me. Anyways, if the block is shortened to 1 year, after the year I will retire.
Decline reason:
No way, you had your chance. However, there is a proposal on my talk page on how you might be given another chance, provided the rest of the community agrees. Your best hope is to see if anything comes of that. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 15:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I just want to concentrate on the things I like. Please re-consider it. A day was too much. I know what to do, exactly.

I don't see that Vandalism: Calling admins Nazis whilst already blocked, and very shortly after an indef was removed. should be a block of 10 years. I know it was a idiotic thing to call them nazis, but the block it's not necessary to prevent me to damage the community. Oh my god, what more can I do. I just want to be back to fulfill the things I left incomplete. Well, this is the last time I will request unblock. I will not going to disturb you anymore if you are going to decline the unblock request. I really don't have anything more to say.

Please stop repeated requests for unblock, it doesn't help you any. My advice would be to come back in a few months and I'm sure nobody will have a problem. However, if you place another unblock notice - which at this point serves only to waste time - I will modify your block so that you cannot edit your talkpage.

Blocked means no editing and no pretty talk pages, your talk page is now here purely to facilitate any future unblock requests. You lost your editing privileges and any right to have a pretty user talk page when you were blocked, you only get all that back if/when you're unblocked. Nick ( talk) 18:48, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Please, my sincere apologies to the admin I offended and the rest of the community of Wikipedia because of that unexplained situation I did in mid-January. I promise that if I comeback here, I'll go back to build articles, specially to Pichilemu, an article that I hope sometime will be a FA, and to get Modern Talking to GA. It was really an idiotic thing to say that you, a jewish admin, were nazi. I know it is very offensive. My great-grandfather itself was killed in Germany because he was jewish, in the World War II. I really need to comeback, it is the best thing I've ever found on the net, and a space to show everybody my knowledge. Again, my apologies. -- MW talk contribs 17:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Round one is over, and round two has begun! Congratulations to the 64 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our first round. A special well done goes to
Sasata (
submissions), our round one winner (1010 points), and to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions), who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70).
Staxringold (
submissions) claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points),

submissions) claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points),
Jujutacular (
submissions) claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and
Candlewicke (
submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.
Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Thanks for uploading File:3 originals (Rick Astley album).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I realize you are indef blocked, but I think you should know. I know you meant well, but this edit was not at all helpful. I replaced the picture with something that was smaller, easier to read, and drew attention to what was being talked about.

Thanks for uploading File:Luis Rodriguez.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILYsock (TALK) 00:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Tom, my kitten.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly.
Hunter Kahn (

TonyTheTiger (
submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the

Hi Diego! I just wanted to let you know that I added a Wikinews template to Pichilemu before realizing that you're working on an improved version in your sandbox. Feel free to have it reverted if you wish.
I see that you're not in a position to facilitate cross-wiki coordination of links, articles, and such. Nor are your mentors or observing administrators in a position to continuously check for urgently needed edits, especially during the immediate aftermath of the natural disasters you seem to cover a lot.

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is IEs4Linux. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IEs4Linux. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Apache Tomcat Firefox.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 20:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that I'm working on this audio file. There's a few things that I'm going to do to make it come in line with our fair use policies. The things that relate to the physical file I can do, but there is something that you can do also that might help it stick around here on Wikipedia.
The main thing is that the article that uses it, She Wants to Dance with Me, is only a few sentences long, and doesn't specifically discuss the content of that song. That's one of the fair use policy requirements; that the article's actually have sourced commentary about the song itself. Would you mind helping out with that part of it? Thanks.

Putting an AfC on hold without explaining the issue is about the most counter-productive thing I can imagine. So far as I can see, there are no major issues with the article, and the author is as confused as I am. If you genuinely feel that this should be put on hold, please at least provide a reason, so that the article can be worked on by the person who originally submitted it or others.

TonyTheTiger (

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to
Hunter Kahn (

I know you want to use Huggle so stick to the basic rule: if you're not 100% certain that any other editor would agree the edit is vandalism, use the undo button. Do not use Huggle or rollback unless the edit is unquestionably vandalism and, no matter how many times you've read them before, read WP:VAND and WP:RBK.

A tag has been placed on File:Contacto.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

As for your library article. I've voted to keep it but you must learn to accept that some people may not see things the way you do. It is likely that the info will be merged into the main articles if it can't be expanded so nothing will be lost. You are doing great work on Chile which I, Ser Amantio and many others are very pleased about. You are more valuable than you think towards removing systematic bias on here so please don't let one moment of conflict stop you from editing. This happens on here,, it can mostly be avoided if the articles are adequately sourced and contain encyclopedic info but there are exepctions when some editors seem to lose all sense of what this project is about. Please remove your retired tag and place it with wikibreak if this is your intention and i hope to see you continuing to edit in a few days time. Your work is 100 times more valuable here than at wikinews, as her eyou get the chance to write about virtually any Chilean related topic and are not restricted to just writing about news, maybe I am biased.

"As they happen"? News becomes stale, but have after-effects. The naming of the dump is mentioned in the article, but could be sourced from Wikinews, but I don't see that we should link to a story three years old, since it makes us look somewhat foolish, since in no way is it "news".

Hola. Creo que esta versión de la foto de Piñera es más adecuada que esta otra para los artículos sobre elecciones presidenciales, ya que se concentra en la cabeza del sujeto, al igual que las demás fotos de los otros candidatos. Esto permite homogeneizar las fotos y, también, una rápida identificación del candidato.
Noté, además, que en el historial de File:Piñera_crop.jpg has agregado "If you want to use that version, reupload it under a different name i.e. Piñera crop 2.jpg. Thanks.", pero cuando alguien hace exactamente eso, tu vas artículo por artículo eliminando la nueva foto.
Agradezco que medites sobre tu actitud, gracias. Pristino ( talk) 03:44, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I think this version is better suited for articles on presidential elections than this other version, mainly because it focuses on the subject's head, as in the rest of the candidates's headshots. This allows for quick subject identification and for the harmonizing of the photos.
I noted that in File:Piñera_crop.jpg's history you've added "If you want to use that version, reupload it under a different name i.e. Piñera crop 2.jpg. Thanks.", but when a user does exactly that you go article by article replacing every instance of the new photo.
That isn't very nice, so I hope you can give it a thought. Thanks.

Hi Diego, I've taken a look at the Pichilemu Fault article and tweaked the language a bit, although my spanish is a lot less than perfect. My main concern is that the fault has not yet been definitively named as the 'Pichilemu Fault' or 'Falla de Pichilemu' in any available scientific source, only in various news reports in which the quoted seismologists use no specific name. Until it is formally named, I think that it would be better to merge the content of the fault article into the earthquake article. There is a similar story for both the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, in which rupture along previously undescribed faults caused the earthquakes, but the structures have yet to be named. Probably best to wait until a name is clearly established, unless you have a source that quotes a seismologist using the term of course. In part, I suppose I'm trying to forestall somebody taking this to AfD, where I'm not convinced that it would survive. Within a few months, scientific reports will start to appear and things will be a lot clearer, hopefully. Anyway, I will include a section on this in the earthquake article, without using a specific fault name. I'll leave it to you to decide whether to redirect the fault article there or wait for better sources to appear (as I'm sure they will eventually, although you may have to change the name) and accept the risk of AfD for now.

Thank you for making the proper name fix and for reverting the edits made by "Kimberly". As one of Puerto Rico's top military historians, I know Capt. Castro and we've communicated quite often by phone. If he wanted something changed he would call me and let me know as he has done n the past. I told "Kimberly" in his/her "talk page" that Wikipedia is about reliable verifiable sources and not about requests that we claim to have received by e-mail. Therefore, I asked that user once more to refrain from reverting and making changes to the article, unless he/she can cite and provide us with proof, otherwise he/her changes will be deemed as vandalism.

Hi Diego, re: this request on the ACC, you deferred it to the checkusers, however, per the guide requests should only be deferred to checkusers if it is a {{ checkuserblock}} or variant thereof, however, User:Stwalkerster, the blocking admin left the following note in the comment: "If you wish to edit Wikipedia, please use this form to request an account: toolserver.org/~acc/)" so it shouldn't have been deferred to a checkuser, I understand you were acting in good faith but it would be best to not rush requests and to err on the side of caution.

Recently you nominated Earthquakes in 1985 for GA status [10]. However, it appears Earthquakes in 1985 is more of a list than an article. According to the Wikipedia:Good article criteria, "Lists, portals, sounds, and images: these items should be nominated for featured list, featured portal, featured sounds, and featured picture status respectively" . Therefore, it is likely that it will not be eligible for GA and it would be referred to WP:FLC instead. -- maclean ( talk) 02:07, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello... I just wanted to inform you that the CommonsDelinker bot removed the "Estamos_bien_los_33.svg" image, from the 2010 Copiapó mining accident article, because it has apparently been deleted from Commons by Jameslwoodward. Not sure totally what's going on...but that was an important image. The message from the trapped miners that they were ok, all 33, etc. I was wondering if you (in your experience and skill) can maybe somehow get another copy of that image back, onto Wikipedia, and onto that Mining accident article. It was a very good digital representation of the note the miners wrote...and is historical. And it arguably SHOULD be on this article. Let me know what you can do. Hopefully it can be restored.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (
submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for
Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (
submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for
Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (
submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (
explanation), claiming for
Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Valued Contributor Award |
![]() |
You have been identified as a valued contributor and your efforts are appreciated. We are honored to present you with the Valued Contributor Award and we thank you for donating your time, expertise and effort to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. Thanks. ( more details) |
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your post at the Wiki Guides project. First, I want to say thank you very much for sticking with this project we call Wikipedia. It shows a real sense of commitment on your part and I appreciate it. You have been a model Wikipedian and had to go through a lot to get here.
I believe Wikipedia has a problem with the way it treats users, especially new users. I don't think Wikipedia understands how users feel when they try to contribute — not understanding the rules — and then having their efforts deleted and being scolded too. I have been researching this for the past couple of months. Sometime in the next couple months, I am hoping to write up some basic changes to make Wikipedia a more friendly place. I would like to ask some questions and get your input and suggestions sometime in the next few weeks. I think your viewpoint would be extremely valuable considering all that you have gone through. Would it be OK if I stopped by sometime in the next few weeks? Thanks again for everything. - Hydroxonium ( H3O+) 05:01, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (
submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (
submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen
here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to
Jarry1250 (
submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to
Stone (
submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

After months of pushing it off I finally created the Philippe Boiry article two days ago(I probably won't go for DYK due to limited sources but there is an article about him here [14] but I can't read Spanish). But glad to see your back. Spongie555 ( talk) 05:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Well done! Diego Grez ( talk) 21:55, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey Diego, I'm growing weary of the debates over this image. I know the image was provided by Chilean government contracted equipment for free to the world's media. Unfortunately the article is most likely buried within the pay section of the English language newspaper Santiago Times. Can you use your language skills to locate a similar article on a free site, even if it's in Spanish, or find a good email contact for the Ministry of Mining so we can get some clarification on this? Perhaps invite them to review the article, I'm sure they would be supportive of it. If they could simply upload their copy of the original to their Flickr acct with an appropriate license it would solve a lot of problems. Cheers, Veriss ( talk) 05:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

On 29 March 2009, I took my first small steps as a Wikipedian.
Now, 2 years, 47,000 edits, 2 RfAs and many memories later, I'd like to share a drink, on my "wiki-birthday", with a few editors who made my early experience here a pleasant one. As much as I would like to thank each of those editors in non-templated fashion, or even buy them a drink in person, I fear I would be celebrating my fourth wiki-birthday (and very drunk!) before the task was complete. Thus, please accept this as a small, if slightly impersonal, token of what these collaborations, words of advice and moments shared have meant to me.
Here's to all the happy memories of the last two years and to many more to come! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?
What can I say, my friend? It's been an interesting year, hasn't it? Thanks for having the manners not to make me look like an idiot for getting you unblocked. ;) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is
Hurricanehink (
submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H.
Piotrus (
submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "
vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

On behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, we would like to take the time and thank you for your contributions made as part of the March 2011 Good articles backlog elimination drive. Awards and barnstars will go out shortly for those who have reviewed a certain number of articles.
During the backlog drive, in the month of March 2011,
We started the GA backlog elimination drive with 378 GA nominations remaining, with 291 that were not reviewed at all. By 2:00, April 1, 2011, the backlog was at 171 GA nominations, with 100 that were left unreviewed.
At the start of the drive, the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 101 days ( Andrei Kirilenko (politician), at 20 November 2010, reviewed and passed 1 March 2011); at the end of the drive the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 39 days ( Gery Chico, at 24 February 2011, still yet to be reviewed as of this posting).
While we did not achieve the objective of getting the backlog of outstanding GA nominations down to below 50, we reduced the GA backlog by over half. The GA reviews also seemed to be of a higher quality and have consistently led, to say the least, to marginal improvements to those articles (although there were significant improvements to many, even on the some of the nominations that were failed).
If you would like to comment on the drive itself and maybe even make suggestions on how to improve the next one, please make a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/March 2011#Feedback. Another GA backlog elimination drive is being planned for later this year, tentatively for September or October 2011. Also, if you have any comments or remarks on how to improve the Good article process in general, Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles can always use some feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles.
Again, on behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, thank you for making the March 2011 GA backlog elimination drive a success.

Thanks for uploading File:Brother Louie MT.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 ( talk) 03:48, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Round 2 of the
2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round.
Casliber (
submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Nergaal (
submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored;
featured sounds,
featured portals and
featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to
Candlewicke (
submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on
In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here.

A tag has been placed on Piñericosas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.
If you can fix the redirect to point to a
mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion (
{{db-...}}

I have undid your recent edit to my userpage. An explanation can be found in the edit summary. Thanks! Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) T or M/ Sign mine 00:22, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I recently reverted your change to another user's userpage.
The relevant policy is Wikipedia:User pages, which says "Extremely offensive material may be removed on sight by any editor" ... and also suggests that it should be removed "if user page activity becomes disruptive to the community or gets in the way of the task of building an encyclopedia".
"Simulation and disruption of the MediaWiki interface" is the section that I think you want, but it goes on to say "by preventing important links or controls from being easily seen or used, making text on the page hard to read or unreadable (other than by way of commenting out), or replacing the expected interface with a disruptive simulation, may be removed or remedied by any user. Inappropriate internal or external links that unexpectedly direct the reader to unreasonable locations or violate prohibitions on linking may also be removed or remedied by any user".
I don't feel the content in question meets those requirements. The section open to dispute here is "replacing the expected interface with a disruptive simulation" (my emphasis).
I strongly suggest that you also read Wikipedia:User pages#On others' user pages for advice on how to proceed. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 01:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

We're half way through round 3 of the
2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round.
Casliber (
submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by
Racepacket (
submissions),
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Canada Hky (
submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at
featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was
Casliber (
submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by
Wizardman (
submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by
Eisfbnore (
submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.
No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.
We would again like to thank
Jarry1250 (
submissions) and
Stone (
submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

You proposed that Guy-Greenbrier earthquake swarm be deleted. This is a sourced article and an on-going event. A Google search finds numerous sources that could be included. I'm curious why this considered an uncontroversial deletion? If you thought that it was non-notable — despite the article passing the usual Google search litmus tests — why not initiate a discussion on the talk page first to allow a few days for editors to respond? The deletion process has become perhaps the most off-putting aspect of Wikipedia to new editors. I've been around here for a while so a proposed deletion of my articles, like this one, doesn't phase me. But if this article had been created by a new editor, it certainly would have contributed to the harmful and popular idea that Wikipedia is controlled by a few editors and perhaps resulted in that new editor not contributing further. People at the Strategy Wiki keep wondering about editor retention and keep assuming that a gender bias, blah blah blash, is the reason all the while ignoring obvious problems like deletionism. Please keep in mind Wikipedia:NOTPAPER. Having articles on smaller topics doesn't hurt anything. Jason Quinn ( talk) 07:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be

Diego Gez, I'd like to offer you my apology for stating on AN/I that you are still under restrictions because I totally misread the last discussion on the topic on AN. As an editor free of all restrictions, you are, of course, entitled to bring problems to AN/I, although I continue to think this particular one is a content dispute which should be dealt with on the article's talk page. That is, however, irrelevant to my error, for which I beg your pardon. Best, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 22:25, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
I did not threaten to cut off hands. Pearlasia Gamboa did, for using these reliable and verifiable sources. Then she threatened numerous editors for applying WIkipedia standards. There was just a major 5 page news story about her and this, and much discussion of threats against the editors who simply applied RS and V standards.
There was just a major 5 page news story in the San Francisco Weekly on threats to Wikipedians. Can you help restore the content, but modify the poster's wording and phrasing, so that the "quotation" of Pearlasia Gamaboa's threat against Wikipedians does not, itself, look like a threat, so as to allow discussion?
Do not intimidate her. According to the Swedish press, a member of her crime ring already cut up someone's hands for posting information on the crime ring. There is strength and safety in numbers of editors using WP:V and WP:RS.
There is also much discussion now about further using the "improving of Wikipedia" under its V and RS standards, to help in the middle east upheaval.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Quiltro is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Anna talk 01:35, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are
Adabow (
submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and
PresN (
submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on
Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article (
White-bellied Sea Eagle, from
Casliber (

Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from
Another Believer (
submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition.

Querido Diego,
te escribo de la lejana Calabria, pero con el corazón de Nuestra América latina, precisamente de Venezuela. ante todo te saludo y te deseo un feliz comienzo de semana, que sea próspero, luminoso y munífico.
He escrito con el corazón de nuestra América latina, porque gracias a dos conocidos socialnetwork, sopratutto a un conocido socialnetwork, ha podido conocer más allá de que a mi querida familia venezolana, también una ciudad estupenda: Santiago de los Caballeros de Mérida, o sencillamente Mérida. aquí dos años hace, exactamente la noche entre el 3 y el 4 de marzo llegué virtualmente en ciudad, en un primer momento conociendo algunos joven del conocido University of the Andes, sucesivamente miembros de la conocida Feria del Sol. De allí a poco, quizás también por mi culpa y por ignorancia, tomados una enfermedad que nos golpea jóvenes: la anorexia.
Abandonado por todo, menos que de los Mérideños y de algún inmigrado de mi burgo nativo, me tocaron dos meses de hospitalización hogareña. del 29 de junio (día del 90 aniversario de la muerte de Hernandez) al 26 de agosto de 2009, estuve allá con el mal que atormentó mi cuerpo y mi espíritu, nadie de quien creí a amigo estuvo conmigo, más bien a onor del auténtico solo pocas personas. Pero, de Mérida llegaron cada día sobre mi muro mensajes de paz, amor, esperanza y ánimo. Sobre todo de los estudiantes de la Universidad y de la Feria, aquí en efecto bastantes personas me tienen en práctica adoptada como mascota, y en otros casos ahora por otros soy de familia y siempre nos sentimos sobre el sitio y telefónicamente.
el Regalo más bonito me lo ha hecho una joven estudiante, cuando faltaron pocos días al 26 de agosto, me regaló: la Virgen de Coromoto, Patrona de Venezuela, y he aquí que milagrosamente retomados la calle de la curación, justo a la novena de nuestra Fiesta Patronal: aquel del San Francisco de Paula, de que soy muy devoto.
Así que una vez retomado he decidido Homenajear la ciudad que me dio de nuevo la esperanza, traduciéndola en cada lengua que conocí, y pidiendo ayuda a usuarios de buen corazón dónde no supe la lengua. en un primer momento con Mérida, luego con la Feria del Sol... y ahora inicio con José Gregorio y la Universidad.
He decidido contarte la historia, porque me pareció justo y preciso, contarte la verdad, visto que a cuánto veo eres un mancebo preciso y en forma. por este te pregunto si puedes serme de ayuda, colaborando con yo como traductor en inglés sobre articulas venezolanos.
En cambio te juro que te ayudaré a traducir lo que querrás en italiano, sicilianas y otras lenguas en mi conocimiento, tienen también amigos en muchos rincones de la tierra para pedir favores de traducciones. del ruso a las lenguas europeas más menores.
dice eso si quieres ayudarme y ser mi colaborador en inglés te señalo estos dos artículos por ahora. la University of the Andes y José Gregorio Hernandez, de que los dos artículos están en decadencia.
esperando que tú me vengas en ayuda, y no ignoras mi solicitud, ahora te agradezco desde en antelación y ti riporgo mis mejores felicidades de una feliz semana, que sea munífica y pacífica y cargo de éxitos. gracias, atte: Luigi Salvatore-- Lodewijk Vadacchino ( talk) 05:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your Welcome Template, but I'm not newbie, 'cause I've been in wikipedia in other language (Chinese, for example) for more than 5 or 6 years - or more, can't remember. I won't be a constant contributor in English Wikipedia 'cause that's not my mother tongue & I am not well enough to use/handle it. Any way, ths for yr welcome template :) ZumarX.Ku.Alcoholic 08:10, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists,
Another Believer (
submissions),
Piotrus (
submissions),
Grandiose (
submissions),
Stone (
submissions),
Eisfbnore (
submissions),
Canada Hky (
submissions) and
MuZemike (
submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.
In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha ( talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.
A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by
Miyagawa (
submissions),
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Sp33dyphil (
submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (
1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and
Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's
1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the
scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.
If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hello Diego Grez! I just thought you might be interested in the Chile Albums Chart. While researching on Luis Miguel Segundo Romance, I came across Billboard's "Hits of the World" and they included a weekly albums chart from Chile. The only downside is that they were only posted on Billboard from 1994-1996, but still I thought you might want to know. Here is the sources. In regards, Erick ( talk) 05:00, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is
Hurricanehink (
submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners:
Dreamafter (2007),
jj137 (2008),
Durova (2009) and
Sturmvogel_66 (2010). The final standings were as follows:
Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.
Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

Hi Diego Grez,
Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit. Steven Walling and I are putting together a task force for experienced Wikipedians who might be interested in monitoring the queue and responding to the feedback: details are here at Wikipedia:Feedback Dashboard. Please sign up if you're interested in helping out! Thanks, Maryana (WMF) ( talk) 22:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

To join, simply add your name to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2012 signups, and we will be in touch. Please feel free to direct any questions to me, or leave a note on the WikiCup talk page. Thanks!

You'll likely not be pleased about this, but I have suppressed a number of edits to your userspace, including your userpage and userboxes, which reveal personal information about yourself and your family. I've done this per policy, for your own protection and safety on-line, as you are a self-declared minor. I'm really sorry about that, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best.

Under the condition to not disturb anymore. This block is not necessary for the redirect and the insult, since that's not what I meant. Anybody can get wrong sometimes.

Please stop repeated requests for unblock, it doesn't help you any. My advice would be to come back in a few months and I'm sure nobody will have a problem.

I promise that if I comeback here, I'll go back to build articles, specially to Pichilemu, an article that I hope sometime will be a FA, and to get Modern Talking to GA. It was really an idiotic thing to say that you, a jewish admin, were nazi. I know it is very offensive. My great-grandfather itself was killed in Germany because he was jewish, in the World War II.

submissions) claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.
Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. Please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

Thanks for uploading File:3 originals (Rick Astley album).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I realize you are indef blocked, but I think you should know. I know you meant well, but this edit was not at all helpful. I replaced the picture with something that was smaller, easier to read, and drew attention to what was being talked about. It isn't about 'whose picture is there' like you seem to think, but what makes it easier for the reader.— Dæ dαlus Contribs 09:43, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Luis Rodriguez.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILYsock (TALK) 00:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Tom, my kitten.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly.
Hunter Kahn (
submissions) leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B.
TonyTheTiger (
submissions) currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for.

Hi Diego! I just wanted to let you know that I added a Wikinews template to Pichilemu before realizing that you're working on an improved version in your sandbox. Feel free to have it reverted if you wish.
I see that you're not in a position to facilitate cross-wiki coordination of links, articles, and such. Nor are your mentors or observing administrators in a position to continuously check for urgently needed edits, especially during the immediate aftermath of the natural disasters you seem to cover a lot.

this page has been compiled. Congratulations to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), our clear overall round winner, and to
ThinkBlue (
submissions) and
Arsenikk (

Round three begins tomorrow, but anything promoted after the end of round two is eligible for points. 16 contestants (eight pool leaders and eight wildcards) will progress to round four in two months- things are really starting to get competitive. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is IEs4Linux. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IEs4Linux. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:10, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Apache Tomcat Firefox.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 20:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that I'm working on this audio file. There's a few things that I'm going to do to make it come in line with our fair use policies. The things that relate to the physical file I can do, but there is something that you can do also that might help it stick around here on Wikipedia.
The main thing is that the article that uses it, She Wants to Dance with Me, is only a few sentences long, and doesn't specifically discuss the content of that song. That's one of the fair use policy requirements; that the article's actually have sourced commentary about the song itself. Would you mind helping out with that part of it? Thanks.

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by
Sasata (

Sasata (
submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by
Casliber (
submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by
Suomi Finland 2009 (

Hi, I've approved you to use WikiAlerter for now. Sorry for taking so long, but to be perfectly honest, I was a bit hesitant about saying yes, since I have a few memories of you having some problems with semi-automated/automated programs.

Diego, I've granted you rollback and reviewer. For crying out loud be careful with it. I know you want to use Huggle so stick to the basic rule: if you're not 100% certain that any other editor would agree the edit is vandalism, use the undo button. Do not use Huggle or rollback unless the edit is unquestionably vandalism and, no matter how many times you've read them before, read WP:VAND and WP:RBK.

Hi. Note that there is consensus between myself and another active Chile editor User:Ruodyssey that all maps of Chile for pin should be 175 px not 80px. its far too small. We understand that the map is long but even 175 is a lot smaller than 250px standard. If you come across any articles where the maps are 80 please change them to 175 thanks.

A tag has been placed on File:Contacto.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I understand your frustration. People who disagree with you can really wind you and their comments often seem ludicruous. I've often felt shocked at how some people could not think certain articles encyclopedic or certsin proposal worthy on here. It is best to take a few days away and resume when it has died down. As for your library article. I've voted to keep it but you must learn to accept that some people may not see things the way you do. It is likely that the info will be merged into the main articles if it can't be expanded so nothing will be lost. You are doing great work on Chile which I, Ser Amantio and many others are very pleased about. You are more valuable than you think towards removing systematic bias on here so please don't let one moment of conflict stop you from editing. This happens on here,, it can mostly be avoided if the articles are adequately sourced and contain encyclopedic info but there are exepctions when some editors seem to lose all sense of what this project is about. Please remove your retired tag and place it with wikibreak if this is your intention and i hope to see you continuing to edit in a few days time. Your work is 100 times more valuable here than at wikinews, as her eyou get the chance to write about virtually any Chilean related topic and are not restricted to just writing about news, maybe I am biased.

Hola. Creo que esta versión de la foto de Piñera es más adecuada que esta otra para los artículos sobre elecciones presidenciales, ya que se concentra en la cabeza del sujeto, al igual que las demás fotos de los otros candidatos. Esto permite homogeneizar las fotos y, también, una rápida identificación del candidato.
Noté, además, que en el historial de File:Piñera_crop.jpg has agregado "If you want to use that version, reupload it under a different name i.e. Piñera crop 2.jpg. Thanks.", pero cuando alguien hace exactamente eso, tu vas artículo por artículo eliminando la nueva foto.
Agradezco que medites sobre tu actitud, gracias. Pristino ( talk) 03:44, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I think this version is better suited for articles on presidential elections than this other version, mainly because it focuses on the subject's head, as in the rest of the candidates's headshots. This allows for quick subject identification and for the harmonizing of the photos.
I noted that in File:Piñera_crop.jpg's history you've added "If you want to use that version, reupload it under a different name i.e. Piñera crop 2.jpg. Thanks.", but when a user does exactly that you go article by article replacing every instance of the new photo.
That isn't very nice, so I hope you can give it a thought. Thanks.

Requesting ACC access again... I was just approved on January, when I was blocked. I couldn't even see how did the interface looked. As I almost got bored writing articles, I would like to help in other areas. Thanks. Diego Grez ( talk) 17:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi there Diego Grez. Just letting you know I've removed your account from the AWB list of bots (you were apparently mistakenly added here). I've added you to the users list, so you will still have access to AWB's non-bot functions. Cheers, - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 00:56, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Hey Deigo, I found a free version of the Mario Gómez rescue image on the official Flicker acct and uploaded it to the Commons. Do you want to delete the older fair use image? I already updated the link in the article to the newer version. Cheers, Veriss ( talk) 18:12, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Diego, I've taken a look at the Pichilemu Fault article and tweaked the language a bit, although my spanish is a lot less than perfect. My main concern is that the fault has not yet been definitively named as the 'Pichilemu Fault' or 'Falla de Pichilemu' in any available scientific source, only in various news reports in which the quoted seismologists use no specific name. Until it is formally named, I think that it would be better to merge the content of the fault article into the earthquake article. There is a similar story for both the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the 2010 Canterbury earthquake, in which rupture along previously undescribed faults caused the earthquakes, but the structures have yet to be named. Probably best to wait until a name is clearly established, unless you have a source that quotes a seismologist using the term of course. In part, I suppose I'm trying to forestall somebody taking this to AfD, where I'm not convinced that it would survive. Within a few months, scientific reports will start to appear and things will be a lot clearer, hopefully. Anyway, I will include a section on this in the earthquake article, without using a specific fault name. I'll leave it to you to decide whether to redirect the fault article there or wait for better sources to appear (as I'm sure they will eventually, although you may have to change the name) and accept the risk of AfD for now. Sorry not to be more positive, Mikenorton ( talk) 10:37, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for making the proper name fix and for reverting the edits made by "Kimberly". As one of Puerto Rico's top military historians, I know Capt. Castro and we've communicated quite often by phone. If he wanted something changed he would call me and let me know as he has done n the past. I told "Kimberly" in his/her "talk page" that Wikipedia is about reliable verifiable sources and not about requests that we claim to have received by e-mail. Therefore, I asked that user once more to refrain from reverting and making changes to the article, unless he/she can cite and provide us with proof, otherwise he/her changes will be deemed as vandalism. Take care. Tony the Marine ( talk) 02:48, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Diego, re: this request on the ACC, you deferred it to the checkusers, however, per the guide requests should only be deferred to checkusers if it is a {{ checkuserblock}} or variant thereof, however, User:Stwalkerster, the blocking admin left the following note in the comment: "If you wish to edit Wikipedia, please use this form to request an account: toolserver.org/~acc/)" so it shouldn't have been deferred to a checkuser, I understand you were acting in good faith but it would be best to not rush requests and to err on the side of caution. This being advice given prior to and after my suspension last month. Regards, — Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 12:28pm • 01:28, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Recently you nominated Earthquakes in 1985 for GA status [10]. However, it appears Earthquakes in 1985 is more of a list than an article. According to the Wikipedia:Good article criteria, "Lists, portals, sounds, and images: these items should be nominated for featured list, featured portal, featured sounds, and featured picture status respectively" . Therefore, it is likely that it will not be eligible for GA and it would be referred to WP:FLC instead. -- maclean ( talk) 02:07, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:KITO.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello... I just wanted to inform you that the CommonsDelinker bot removed the "Estamos_bien_los_33.svg" image, from the 2010 Copiapó mining accident article, because it has apparently been deleted from Commons by Jameslwoodward. Not sure totally what's going on...but that was an important image. The message from the trapped miners that they were ok, all 33, etc. I was wondering if you (in your experience and skill) can maybe somehow get another copy of that image back, onto Wikipedia, and onto that Mining accident article. It was a very good digital representation of the note the miners wrote...and is historical. And it arguably SHOULD be on this article. Let me know what you can do. Hopefully it can be restored. Thanks. ResearchRave ( talk) 02:00, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
The article @firma has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Edit summaries like "So What? Tell me. WP is not Wikinews, and if this is on the headlines, it will fuck off pretty shortly, I'm telling you" are not acceptable. Please remain civil.

The Bushranger (
submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (
submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for
Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (
submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for
Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (

explanation), claiming for
Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hello Diego Grez. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of March 2010 Calama earthquake, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: how can an XfD have closed after 17 hours rather than 7 days? Please provide the link to the discussion on my talk page. Thank you. Ged UK 22:17, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Diego, I noticed that you were active on the Qhichwa Simi wiki. Would you have any interest in developing a WikiProject Indigenous peoples of the Americans?

Hi, there's a discussion at WP talk:WPIPNA of how to best categorize cultural/ecological regions of the Americas to best organize articles about indigenous peoples. Here's a rough draft - what would you suggest to adequately cover all areas of South America?

I'm trying to develop a wikipedia page and I now understand the rules much better than when I started earlier today. I'm finding as many sources as I can and am being careful with wording. I just saw your note now and again, I am learning as I go on how to maneuver through the site! I wish there were more hours in a day.

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Valued Contributor Award |
![]() |
You have been identified as a valued contributor and your efforts are appreciated. We are honored to present you with the Valued Contributor Award and we thank you for donating your time, expertise and effort to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. Thanks. ( more details) |
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your post at the Wiki Guides project. First, I want to say thank you very much for sticking with this project we call Wikipedia. It shows a real sense of commitment on your part and I appreciate it. You have been a model Wikipedian and had to go through a lot to get here.
I believe Wikipedia has a problem with the way it treats users, especially new users. I don't think Wikipedia understands how users feel when they try to contribute — not understanding the rules — and then having their efforts deleted and being scolded too. I have been researching this for the past couple of months. Sometime in the next couple months, I am hoping to write up some basic changes to make Wikipedia a more friendly place. I would like to ask some questions and get your input and suggestions sometime in the next few weeks. I think your viewpoint would be extremely valuable considering all that you have gone through. Would it be OK if I stopped by sometime in the next few weeks? Thanks again for everything. - Hydroxonium ( H3O+) 05:01, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (
submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (
submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen
here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to
Jarry1250 (
submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to
Stone (
submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hey Diego, I'm growing weary of the debates over this image. I know the image was provided by Chilean government contracted equipment for free to the world's media. Unfortunately the article is most likely buried within the pay section of the English language newspaper Santiago Times. Can you use your language skills to locate a similar article on a free site, even if it's in Spanish, or find a good email contact for the Ministry of Mining so we can get some clarification on this? Perhaps invite them to review the article, I'm sure they would be supportive of it. If they could simply upload their copy of the original to their Flickr acct with an appropriate license it would solve a lot of problems. Cheers, Veriss ( talk) 05:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

On 29 March 2009, I took my first small steps as a Wikipedian.
Now, 2 years, 47,000 edits, 2 RfAs and many memories later, I'd like to share a drink, on my "wiki-birthday", with a few editors who made my early experience here a pleasant one. As much as I would like to thank each of those editors in non-templated fashion, or even buy them a drink in person, I fear I would be celebrating my fourth wiki-birthday (and very drunk!) before the task was complete. Thus, please accept this as a small, if slightly impersonal, token of what these collaborations, words of advice and moments shared have meant to me.
Here's to all the happy memories of the last two years and to many more to come! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts?
What can I say, my friend? It's been an interesting year, hasn't it? Thanks for having the manners not to make me look like an idiot for getting you unblocked. ;) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:08, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is
Hurricanehink (
submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H.
Piotrus (
submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "
vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

On behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, we would like to take the time and thank you for your contributions made as part of the March 2011 Good articles backlog elimination drive. Awards and barnstars will go out shortly for those who have reviewed a certain number of articles.
During the backlog drive, in the month of March 2011,
We started the GA backlog elimination drive with 378 GA nominations remaining, with 291 that were not reviewed at all. By 2:00, April 1, 2011, the backlog was at 171 GA nominations, with 100 that were left unreviewed.
At the start of the drive, the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 101 days ( Andrei Kirilenko (politician), at 20 November 2010, reviewed and passed 1 March 2011); at the end of the drive the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 39 days ( Gery Chico, at 24 February 2011, still yet to be reviewed as of this posting).
While we did not achieve the objective of getting the backlog of outstanding GA nominations down to below 50, we reduced the GA backlog by over half. The GA reviews also seemed to be of a higher quality and have consistently led, to say the least, to marginal improvements to those articles (although there were significant improvements to many, even on the some of the nominations that were failed).
If you would like to comment on the drive itself and maybe even make suggestions on how to improve the next one, please make a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/March 2011#Feedback. Another GA backlog elimination drive is being planned for later this year, tentatively for September or October 2011. Also, if you have any comments or remarks on how to improve the Good article process in general, Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles can always use some feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles.
Again, on behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, thank you for making the March 2011 GA backlog elimination drive a success.

Thanks for uploading File:Brother Louie MT.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 ( talk) 03:48, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Round 2 of the
2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round.
Casliber (
submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Nergaal (
submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored;
featured sounds,
featured portals and
featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to
Candlewicke (
submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on
In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here.

A tag has been placed on Piñericosas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.
If you can fix the redirect to point to a
mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion (

I recently reverted your change to another user's userpage.
The relevant policy is Wikipedia:User pages, which says "Extremely offensive material may be removed on sight by any editor" ... and also suggests that it should be removed "if user page activity becomes disruptive to the community or gets in the way of the task of building an encyclopedia".
"Simulation and disruption of the MediaWiki interface" is the section that I think you want, but it goes on to say "by preventing important links or controls from being easily seen or used, making text on the page hard to read or unreadable (other than by way of commenting out), or replacing the expected interface with a disruptive simulation, may be removed or remedied by any user. Inappropriate internal or external links that unexpectedly direct the reader to unreasonable locations or violate prohibitions on linking may also be removed or remedied by any user".
I don't feel the content in question meets those requirements. The section open to dispute here is "replacing the expected interface with a disruptive simulation" (my emphasis).
I strongly suggest that you also read Wikipedia:User pages#On others' user pages for advice on how to proceed. -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 01:00, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at

Hi, I just approved your DYK for Anselmo Sule, but I just wanted to mention: I think there are a couple dead links in the references section of the article. Could you double check the urls that you were using there? Thanks, Qrsdogg ( talk) 03:37, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Diego, you may want to check out the recent edits by an anon changing Sebastián's picture to one that was inferior and removing his honorific from the info box. I reverted the picture but am not sure what his actual customary honorific is in Chile so left that alone. Cheers, Veriss ( talk) 23:28, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
![]() | On 7 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Elections in Pichilemu, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that at least seventeen elections have occurred in the Chilean city of Pichilemu since the country's transition to democracy in 1989? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

The article Thomas Anders v. Dieter Bohlen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was
Casliber (
submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by
Wizardman (
submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by
Eisfbnore (
submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.
No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.
We would again like to thank
Jarry1250 (
submissions) and
Stone (
submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

You proposed that Guy-Greenbrier earthquake swarm be deleted. This is a sourced article and an on-going event. A Google search finds numerous sources that could be included. I'm curious why this considered an uncontroversial deletion? If you thought that it was non-notable — despite the article passing the usual Google search litmus tests — why not initiate a discussion on the talk page first to allow a few days for editors to respond? The deletion process has become perhaps the most off-putting aspect of Wikipedia to new editors. I've been around here for a while so a proposed deletion of my articles, like this one, doesn't phase me. But if this article had been created by a new editor, it certainly would have contributed to the harmful and popular idea that Wikipedia is controlled by a few editors and perhaps resulted in that new editor not contributing further. People at the Strategy Wiki keep wondering about editor retention and keep assuming that a gender bias, blah blah blash, is the reason all the while ignoring obvious problems like deletionism. Please keep in mind Wikipedia:NOTPAPER. Having articles on smaller topics doesn't hurt anything. Jason Quinn ( talk) 07:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be
disruptive and have been
reverted or removed.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive; until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- Otberg ( talk) 16:34, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Diego Gez, I'd like to offer you my apology for stating on AN/I that you are still under restrictions because I totally misread the last discussion on the topic on AN. As an editor free of all restrictions, you are, of course, entitled to bring problems to AN/I, although I continue to think this particular one is a content dispute which should be dealt with on the article's talk page. That is, however, irrelevant to my error, for which I beg your pardon. Best, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 22:25, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
I did not threaten to cut off hands. Pearlasia Gamboa did, for using these reliable and verifiable sources. Then she threatened numerous editors for applying WIkipedia standards. There was just a major 5 page news story about her and this, and much discussion of threats against the editors who simply applied RS and V standards.
There was just a major 5 page news story in the San Francisco Weekly on threats to Wikipedians. Can you help restore the content, but modify the poster's wording and phrasing, so that the "quotation" of Pearlasia Gamaboa's threat against Wikipedians does not, itself, look like a threat, so as to allow discussion?
Do not intimidate her. According to the Swedish press, a member of her crime ring already cut up someone's hands for posting information on the crime ring. There is strength and safety in numbers of editors using WP:V and WP:RS.
There is also much discussion now about further using the "improving of Wikipedia" under its V and RS standards, to help in the middle east upheaval.
Thanks, and please stay safe. PPdd ( talk) 03:49, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Quiltro is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quiltro until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Anna talk 01:35, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are
Adabow (
submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and
PresN (
submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on
Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article (
White-bellied Sea Eagle, from
Casliber (
submissions)) and two featured lists (
Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and
Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from
Another Believer (
submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!
There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC.

Querido Diego,
te escribo de la lejana Calabria, pero con el corazón de Nuestra América latina, precisamente de Venezuela. ante todo te saludo y te deseo un feliz comienzo de semana, que sea próspero, luminoso y munífico.
He escrito con el corazón de nuestra América latina, porque gracias a dos conocidos socialnetwork, sopratutto a un conocido socialnetwork, ha podido conocer más allá de que a mi querida familia venezolana, también una ciudad estupenda: Santiago de los Caballeros de Mérida, o sencillamente Mérida. aquí dos años hace, exactamente la noche entre el 3 y el 4 de marzo llegué virtualmente en ciudad, en un primer momento conociendo algunos joven del conocido University of the Andes, sucesivamente miembros de la conocida Feria del Sol. De allí a poco, quizás también por mi culpa y por ignorancia, tomados una enfermedad que nos golpea jóvenes: la anorexia.
Abandonado por todo, menos que de los Mérideños y de algún inmigrado de mi burgo nativo, me tocaron dos meses de hospitalización hogareña. del 29 de junio (día del 90 aniversario de la muerte de Hernandez) al 26 de agosto de 2009, estuve allá con el mal que atormentó mi cuerpo y mi espíritu, nadie de quien creí a amigo estuvo conmigo, más bien a onor del auténtico solo pocas personas. Pero, de Mérida llegaron cada día sobre mi muro mensajes de paz, amor, esperanza y ánimo. Sobre todo de los estudiantes de la Universidad y de la Feria, aquí en efecto bastantes personas me tienen en práctica adoptada como mascota, y en otros casos ahora por otros soy de familia y siempre nos sentimos sobre el sitio y telefónicamente.
el Regalo más bonito me lo ha hecho una joven estudiante, cuando faltaron pocos días al 26 de agosto, me regaló: la Virgen de Coromoto, Patrona de Venezuela, y he aquí que milagrosamente retomados la calle de la curación, justo a la novena de nuestra Fiesta Patronal: aquel del San Francisco de Paula, de que soy muy devoto.
Así que una vez retomado he decidido Homenajear la ciudad que me dio de nuevo la esperanza, traduciéndola en cada lengua que conocí, y pidiendo ayuda a usuarios de buen corazón dónde no supe la lengua. en un primer momento con Mérida, luego con la Feria del Sol... y ahora inicio con José Gregorio y la Universidad.
He decidido contarte la historia, porque me pareció justo y preciso, contarte la verdad, visto que a cuánto veo eres un mancebo preciso y en forma. por este te pregunto si puedes serme de ayuda, colaborando con yo como traductor en inglés sobre articulas venezolanos.
En cambio te juro que te ayudaré a traducir lo que querrás en italiano, sicilianas y otras lenguas en mi conocimiento, tienen también amigos en muchos rincones de la tierra para pedir favores de traducciones. del ruso a las lenguas europeas más menores.
dice eso si quieres ayudarme y ser mi colaborador en inglés te señalo estos dos artículos por ahora. la University of the Andes y José Gregorio Hernandez, de que los dos artículos están en decadencia.
esperando que tú me vengas en ayuda, y no ignoras mi solicitud, ahora te agradezco desde en antelación y ti riporgo mis mejores felicidades de una feliz semana, que sea munífica y pacífica y cargo de éxitos. gracias, atte: Luigi Salvatore-- Lodewijk Vadacchino ( talk) 05:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists,
Another Believer (
submissions),
Piotrus (
submissions),
Grandiose (
submissions),
Stone (
submissions),
Eisfbnore (
submissions),
Canada Hky (
submissions) and
MuZemike (
submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.
In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha ( talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.
A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by
Miyagawa (
submissions),
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Sp33dyphil (
submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (
1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and
Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's
1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the
scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.

Hello Diego Grez! I just thought you might be interested in the Chile Albums Chart. While researching on Luis Miguel Segundo Romance, I came across Billboard's "Hits of the World" and they included a weekly albums chart from Chile. The only downside is that they were only posted on Billboard from 1994-1996, but still I thought you might want to know. Here is the sources. In regards, Erick ( talk) 05:00, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is
Hurricanehink (
submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners:
Dreamafter (2007),
jj137 (2008),
Durova (2009) and
Sturmvogel_66 (2010). The final standings were as follows:
Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.
Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

Hi Diego Grez,
Since you were a part of the WikiGuides project, I thought I'd give you a heads-up about a new way you can help/mentor newbies on en.wiki: we've recently released a feature called the Feedback Dashboard, a queue that updates in real time with feedback and editing questions from new registered contributors who have attempted to make at least one edit. Steven Walling and I are putting together a task force for experienced Wikipedians who might be interested in monitoring the queue and responding to the feedback: details are here at Wikipedia:Feedback Dashboard. Please sign up if you're interested in helping out! Thanks, Maryana (WMF) ( talk) 22:00, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
