Not sure which one it was, probably the one where I wrote "check your resources". I am an architectural historian and I have found COUNTLESS mistakes on Wikepedia architecture pages. I'm sick of even thinking to check wiki at all because at least 50% of the time there is horribly incorrect information. How dare they call this an encyclopedia when half the time people don't check their facts - I was able to do just a few minutes of research on several articles that were wrong and found the correct information. Check your facts! A good friend of mine is a college professor and when she has students write papers that have to include at least 3 sources she tells them "and Wikipedia cannot be one of them". I've not only found incorrect information, I've found misspellings, horrible sentence structure, and on bios, not even the right person to go with facts! No one is watching what's being put up or obviously checking it for factual information. I won't attempt to fix one of your stupid articles again - I'll just check somewhere else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.227.34.122 ( talk) 22:17, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup Greetings, GA Cup competitors! December 29th marked the end of the first round, after it was extended from its previously scheduled conclusion at the end of November. Because of the smaller pool of contestants this year, it was decided to keep sign-ups open throughout the month of December. This extension proved to be very helpful as we saw that more users signed up and completed many reviews. Krishna Chaitanya Velaga earned an impressive 402 points, followed by Cartoon network freak with a close 338 points. Shearonink who signed up after our extension was in third with 170 points. We had a rule clarification in Round 1 which was that many articles were being passed with blatant copyright violations and plagarism occurring in the articles. Thus, the judges have concluded that if an article is passed even if it has a copyright violation/plagarism, we will not provide points for that article as it wouldn't be considered a "complete review" under the scoring rules. In the end, 94 articles were reviewed by 14 users who will all advance to Round 2. The judges had planned on having 16 contestants advance but since only 14 did, we are changing the pools in this round. We will be having 2 pools of 3 and 2 pools of 4 in Round 2, with the top 2 in each pool advancing to Round 3 as well as the top participant ("9th place") of all remaining competitors. Round 2 will begin on January 1 at 00:00:00 UTC and will end on January 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase! To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

	Happy New Year
	Thank you so much for my greeting! Wishing you peace, happiness and every good thing in this New Year 2017. ツ

Here is your incorrect information: Howard Hughes was involved in a near-fatal aircraft accident on July 7, 1946, while performing the first flight of the prototype U.S. Army Air Forces reconnaissance aircraft, the XF-11, near Hughes airfield at Culver City, California. When the XF-11 finally came to a halt after destroying three houses, the fuel tanks exploded, setting fire to the aircraft and a nearby home at 808 North Whittier Drive, owned by Edward C. Meyer. (From the Edward C. Meyer wiki page) By the way, Edward would have been approx. 18 at the time, he probably didn't own any house and this was not his family home.

Here is the CORRECT information - check your RESOURCES!!!!

From the Los Angeles Times Newspaper, 1946

Firemen view damage in vicinity of Lt. Col. Charles A. Meyer's home, which was destroyed by blaze resulting from Howard Hughes plane crash. Towering flames at left are from break in natural gas outlet in the Meyer kitchen. At right, tail section of the FX-11 plane, parts of which hit four different houses.

I check my facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.227.34.122 ( talk) 22:51, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
