WikiCup 2019 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

• L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
• Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
• MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
• Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
• Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
• Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

FYI

I would like to let you know that according to the mass message log, your newsletter subpage is too large to receive any more messages. -- Dolotta (talk) 04:06, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Thanks @Dolotta:. Refreshed --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 21:26, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Removing db-subpage from Module talk:JCW-selected/doc

You must not have read the criteria carefully. The second bullet under WP:G8 says that subpages with no parent page may be deleted under G8. Although the subject page Module:JCW-selected/doc and the redirect target Module talk:JCW both exist, this doesn't matter as long as at least one example applies. I have thus re-added the {{db-subpage}} template to Module talk:JCW-selected/doc because it is a subpage with no parent page. Thank you! GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 19:04, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

And I am still declining the deletion tagging. Funneling people to a central talk page isn't a problem. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 19:07, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
