WikiCup 2012 August newsletter
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
- Grapple X (submissions) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
- Miyagawa (submissions) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
- Ruby2010 (submissions) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
- Casliber (submissions) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
- Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
- Muboshgu (submissions) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
- Dana Boomer (submissions) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
- Sasata (submissions) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.
However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: GreatOrangePumpkin (submissions), Ealdgyth (submissions), Calvin999 (submissions), Piotrus (submissions), Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), The Bushranger (submissions) and 1111tomica (submissions). We hope to see you all next year.
On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Miyagawa,
nobody had made me aware that Starborough Castle was up for DYK otherwise I would have added better sourcing as I have never had a DYK before. I have added better sourcing, I don't know if that means the article can be renominated? Could I also suggest that perhaps article creators be informed when a fact is nominated for DYK so they can help if required? Hiding T 13:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Encounter at Farpoint
The article Encounter at Farpoint you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Encounter at Farpoint for things which need to be addressed. Montanabw(talk) 22:50, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ping! I did a bit of copyediting on the article itself to show you what I was looking for and included some hidden text where I saw minor issues. You probably want to peek at that; I'm not wedded to my edits, they were more demonstrative and you are welcome to alter my changes, but they flag where there were minor things I think were need of a fix. This article is close to passing GA, wouldn't want to get bogged down. Montanabw(talk) 03:45, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter
We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Sasata (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.
It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!
The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Anatolian Shepherd
Hi Miyagawa, I notice that you are still actively updating dog articles, so wondered if you can help/advise please?
The KC has announced it is to recognise the Kangal Dog and I have updated the page on it to reflect this. However, the announcement also states dogs currently registered as Anatolian Shepherd Dogs are eligible (if appropriate) to apply to have them recorded as the Turkish Kangal Dog instead (http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/4581/23/5/3). Looking at the talk page of the Anatolian, there does seem to have been a fair bit of (heated) debate about the Kangal/Anatolian quite some time ago.
I feel something should be included in the Anatolian Shepherd article to indicate the KC's decision about re-registrations but I'm really not sure how it would best be included?
I have been using my sandbox to play with a few dog citations/references and have some bits there which I'd appreciate you looking at if you get the chance?
Sorry to bother you but you seem to be quite expert on Wiki dog pieces!

Great job! ALso credited Gyymrtle, he added some stuff too. I think it would be a great idea to get List of Michelin starred restaurants up to a featured list status. Its probably one of the most important pages for top restaurants on here I think, and then of course the task of covering all of the articles! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:48, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
Do what you think is best anyway, but I think they're amongst the most important pages for restaurants and to get sound lists up to featured status would be great. Featured lists of course are not as demanding as FAs but still need quite a lot of work. Let me know if you want any help anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:15, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.
Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition.

Disambiguation link notification for November 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Great Expectations (2012 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Nicholls (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Maison Novelli
Hi, you might find more on Maison Novelli.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:22, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Wonderful job! Wonder if we can get away with a fair use image as it no longer exists? Can you figure out why the coords aren't showing in the box or title?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 19:32, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Awesome. Actually I discovered it after I was watching I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and Rosemary Schrager said she used to work for Novelli. Not sure if it was Maison though as Hugo Taylor said the restaurant was in Kensington and Chelsea. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 20:04, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Started Les Saveurs de Jean-Christophe Novelli, might want to move it to simply Les Saveurs though to include the time it was Marco Pierre's restaurant.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:49, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Mellow Lane School Logo.JPG)
Thanks for uploading File:Mellow Lane School Logo.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:22, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
