Since you commented at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#The State of GAC, I thought you might want to comment at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Formal decision on nomination limit. Most people who commented on the initial discussion do not seem to be following this page, because the formal decision has gotten very few responses.-- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:48, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!
TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.
As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Just so you know, I am not ignoring your talk page question. All I wish to express, is if someone thinks it is worthwhile to do, go for it and good luck. I will hopefully be able to lend some support around the edges. Alanscottwalker ( talk) 15:35, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:
We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Matty.007 ( submissions), ThaddeusB ( submissions), WikiRedactor ( submissions), Figureskatingfan ( submissions), Yellow Evan ( submissions), Prism ( submissions) and Cloudz679 ( submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.
There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.
There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. 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 is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to

Hello Coemgenus. I was wondering if you could help improve or review the Andrew Jackson article. I have been working on and expanding the Presidency section. There may be some repetitive information. I have tried to arrange the events as chronological as possible. Improvement in narration may be required. Any help would be welcome. Thanks. Cmguy777 ( talk) 15:55, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
In one month's time, we will know our WikiCup 2014 champion. Newcomer Godot13 ( submissions) has taken a strong lead with a featured list ( historical coats of arms of the U.S. states from 1876) and a raft of featured pictures. Reigning champion Cwmhiraeth ( submissions) is in second place with a number of high-importance biology articles, including new FA Isopoda and new GA least weasel. Casliber ( submissions), who is in his fifth WikiCup final, is in third, with featured articles Pictor and Epacris impressa.
Signups for the 2015 WikiCup are open. All Wikipedians, new and experienced, are warmly invited to sign up for the competition. Wikipedians interested in friendly competition may also like to sign up for the GA Cup, a new WikiCup-inspired competition which revolves around completing good article reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Just wanted to thank you for all your work towards the A-level image review. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 21:11, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
What do you think of File:Brady-Handy_-_Ulysses_S._Grant.jpg? It's an 80%-done restoration I stopped because Cmguy777 kept removing it from the article, and I didn't want to spend more time on a restoration if it wasn't going to be used anywhere. The current lead image is appallingly damaged at full resolution, as in, would literally take months, and... it's not a particularly great of an image of Grant, so I can't see the extra time spent on it as being well-spent. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 00:23, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
There are two FPs already, of course. And there's a few other possibles. We can probably ignore any artistic work that isn't in some way "special" so, for example, we can ignore http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/pga.00723/ as redundant to photographs.
That still leaves us a few:
I've focused on the pictures about Grant himself, pretty much - Hamilton Fish or Ward Hunt - or most of his cabinet are certainly doable, but I've presumed those are a little too off-topic for this. Also, Frederick Dent Grant seems particularly easy to get photos of. I like http://loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3c23565/ Adam Cuerden ( talk) 01:09, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
The 2014 WikiCup champion is Godot13 ( submissions), who flew the flag of the Smithsonian Institution. This was Godot13's first WikiCup competition and, over the 10 months of the competition, he has produced (among other contributions) two featured lists and an incredible 292 featured pictures, including architectural photographs and scans of historical documents. Cwmhiraeth ( submissions), 2012 and 2013 WikiCup champion, came in second, having written a large number of biology-related articles. Casliber ( submissions), WikiCup finalist every year since 2010, finished in third.
A full list of our prize-winners follows:
Congratulations to everyone who has been successful in this year's WikiCup, whether you made it to the final rounds or not, and a particular congratulations to the newcomers to the WikiCup who have participated this year. We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2014 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article James B. Weaver you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Sarnold17 -- Sarnold17 ( talk) 02:40, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
The article James B. Weaver you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:James B. Weaver for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Sarnold17 -- Sarnold17 ( talk) 17:42, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
On 2 December 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article James B. Weaver, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that James B. Weaver ran for President of the United States as a Greenbacker in 1880 and as a Populist in 1892? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James B. Weaver. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Thanks for the review of David Hudson - much appreciated. Pretty excited to get my first GA promotion. Cheers, ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 21:06, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
Well, the simplest thing would be to rescan the ones taken from books. That'll likely be easier for an American to do. I can probably improve File:James_Weaver_-_Brady-Handy.jpg and File:1892PopulistPoster.png to FP.
File:Lt. James B. Weaver.png, File:Weaver_1878.png, and File:James and Clara Weaver 1908.png are misattributed. Frederick Emory Haynes is the book's author, and wrote the book over forty years after the later of the two photographs. So you probably need Haynes' book in order to fix that issue anyway. Since all three of the worst photos come from that single book, and the rest aren't that bad, fixing that issue is probably the quickest way to improve things.
A 1919 copy of this book is available for $9 + shipping. Get this copy, as the others on that site are print on demand or ebooks, which could be really, really crappy (and usually are). If you need someone to handle scanning it, I will do it if you don't have someone trustworthy, and I suppose I could fit that book into my Wikipedia budget for next month.
