Prize
Emailed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:07, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Provided that you don't magically come out tops or Penny Richards posts 600 articles on women ;-) you're on for finishing third place. Offering £25 for third, you've certainly deserved that for your work this month. Hopefully you can still put in a good finish over the weekend though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:04, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're safe in that assumption. Well done, Miyagawa!Penny Richards (talk) 14:23, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks both! I'll still be competing as normal though - I've kinda got the bug now. Miyagawa (talk) 16:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
- A month is too long really I think, two weeks would probably be better. Less exhausting. The contest got tough for everybody including myself I think in the middle, especially with the Wales in Red and following week. It's been a very remarkable contest though, definitely worth doing, though WMUK have largely been quiet about things to the point that I suspect they wouldn't want to fund another one. If it's a one off, we'll have done a lot of good anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:47, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Destubbing core articles
"Core expansions and other improvements to existing articles above a stub must be minimum 1.5 kb readable prose added." So just make sure you added 1.5 kb and you'll get the full core points.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:46, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Dr. Blofeld: Thanks for that - one further question. Is the 50 point bonus for five players in the Welsh national teams valid for new articles of 1.5kb or larger, or is it only for expansions? I'm just wondering as I've started doing the Welsh women's rugby team except only about two members of the team had pre-existing stubs. Miyagawa (talk) 09:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
- Yup, 50 point point bonus for five players in the Welsh national teams, male or female. But they have to have had 1.5 kb readable prose added minimum to each I think. If a new article with at least 1.5 kb that's OK I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:41, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

2016 GA Cup-Round 3
 Hello, GA Cup competitors! Thursday saw the end of Round 2. Sainsf once again took out Round 2 with an amazing score of 996 (a higher score then he received in Round 1!). In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 541 points, and in third place, Carbrera received 419 points. In Round 2, 142 reviews were completed! At the beginning of April, there were 486 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 384. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of this GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [1]; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months.[2] It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 3 so we can keep lowering the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the third round, contestants had to earn the two highest scores in each of the four pools in Round 2; plus, one wildcard. We had an unusual occurrence happen in Round 2: because only one contestant submitted reviews in one pool, we selected the contestant with the next highest score to move forward to Round 3. (There will be a rule change for future competitions in case something like this happens again.) For Round 3, users were placed in 3 random pools of 3. To qualify for the Final of the 3rd Annual GA Cup, the top user in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 4th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 3 will start on May 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on May 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here. Good luck and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Congratulations on finishing 3rd in the April 2016 Awaken the Dragon contest!! You (and Wales) should be very proud of the quality and quantity of work that you contributed to Wikipedia this month. Amazing effort, it really makes a difference to the encyclopedia! Thankyou!:-) ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:16, 3 May 2016 (UTC) |

- @Dr. Blofeld: I took the voucher. Considering taking up Medieval Wales as a new speciality, but will be considering what books to buy for the next few weeks as I won't start that up until early June as I'm off on a Baltic cruise for a couple of weeks in a couple of weeks. My initial main project is certainly going to be the Glyndŵr Rising which I started during the contest but there is loads still to do. It'll give me something to break to between Trek articles for the 50th anniversary and DYK stuff for the Olympics. Miyagawa (talk) 09:43, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

GA Cup-Round 3 Clarification
Hello, GA Cup competitors! It has been brought to our attention that we made a mistake in the last newsletter. In the last newsletter, we said that the "4th place" overall would make the Final along with the top user from each pool. However, the users who will advance will be the top user from each pool along with "4th and 5th place" overall. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that we caused. Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list.

Star Trek Voyager
What does that mean "these are not references"? Does that mean it needs have a reference to it or does it mean it shouldn't be there no matter what? It is accurate data. I thought it would be interesting to be able to see the conversion from star date to calander
- @Rdnicholson: You used the wiki formatting for adding references to add conversions from star dates to calendar dates. That formatting should be used for adding direct citations to evidence a fact per Wikipedia:Inline citation. The information you added in itself isn't a reference, nor is it specifically mentioned in those episodes so the inherent referencing for the individual episode (which covers plots, guest stars etc) won't cover it. Furthermore, I'm not entirely convinced it'd actually be useful, but that may be my own personal bias as I don't think even the stardates themselves should be included per MOS:INUNIVERSE. Miyagawa (talk) 20:49, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Voyager
I disagree. It might be superfluous to the story but it's just a little tidbit of information that you don't even see unless you hover your cursor. The conversion is accurate. 1000 in stardate equals a decade and it begins with Jan 1 2323. What is the big deal? Why do you think there shouldn't even be stardates? Is this your territory? You put the Star Trek pages together to begin with? I go way back with these shows. Every single episode watched as they came out from 1987 to 2005. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rdnicholson (talk • contribs) 01:27, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Challenge
Welcome aboard! Not going to be easy finding the right timing for it. Personally I'd probably not opt for July or August as I like to enjoy the weather at times during those months but Rod is a teacher I think and is only free then. There's also the Olympics which I often like to watch and get involved with creating articles as I'm sure you might. I think the West Country one will demand less intense work than the Dragon one though and give people the chance to do some moderate editing for a bit each day. Should be enjoyable. I'm planning on an Anglesey/Gwynedd week contest for June 13-20, don't know if you're up for that. Eventually I want to do one for Golden Hollywood, getting all of those important actors and films up to decent status! That would be fun, hell we should do one just for Sinatra and aim to get all of his songs, albums, films and related stuff up to decent status! @Yoninah: Would you be up for a Sinatra improvement contest? 18th anniversary of his death today. Seriously though, perhaps on December 12-19 we could run a SInatra week contest and list 101 articles to be improved celebrating 101 years. I don't know, I reckon it would be great fun!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:25, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

2016 GA Cup-Finals
Hello, GA Cup competitors! Tuesday saw the end of Round 3. Sainsf, for the third time, won with a sizable 487 points and a shocking 29 articles reviewed. In second, MPJ-DK had 168 points and 7 reviewed articles. In second place, MPJ-DK earned 168 points with just 7 articles, and in third place, Carbrera received 137 points with just 9 articles. Our two wildcard slots went to J Milburn with 122 points and Sturmvogel 66 with 101 points. In Round 3, 65 reviews were completed! At the beginning of the GA Cup, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 3, there were 394. Another demonstrable way in which this competition has made a difference is in the length of time articles languish in the queue. At the beginning of the GA Cup, the longest wait was over 9 months [3]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [4]—nothing before 2016. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in the Finals for the GA Cup so that are successes continue. To qualify for the Finals, contestants had to earn the highest scores in each of the three pools in Round 3; plus, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users in all of the pools. For the Finals, users were placed in one pool of the remaining five users. To win the GA Cup, you must have the most points. The Finals started on June 1 at 0:00:01 UTC' and end on June 30 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about the Finals and the pools can be found here. A clarification: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We wish all the contestants the best of luck! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

WWI directory
Hi there. Apologies for the impersonal nature of this post. I am sending this short note to a number of people who were involved (some still are) with World War I topics, letting them know about a WWI projects directory that I've started (in my userspace for now). Would you be able to look and see if there is anything you might be able to add or advice on what is most useful? If you want any follow ups, please put your name on the talk page. Many thanks.

2016 GA Cup-Wrap Up
Hello to our truly awesome GA Cup competitors! Thursday, June 30 saw the end of the 2016 GA Cup. It was a huge success. In the final, our five competitors reviewed an astonishing 207 articles, the most in any GA Cup final thus far. We continue to reach our goals and make a substantial impact in how quickly articles are reviewed for GA status. On March 1, the start of this competition, the article longest in the queue had languished there since June 26, 2015 [5]; in the July 1, 2016 list, the average wait length is just four months [6]. It's clear that we continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for their enthusiasm, and for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success. Remember that most articles can't even be considered for FA status unless it's been passed to GA first, so our efforts have created hundreds of potentials FAs. That is, as they say, a big deal. The final this time represented a real horse race between our 1st and 2nd place winners. First-time competitor (who had won all previous rounds) Sainsf earned an impressive 1456 points with 91 articles reviewed during the final. Close behind, in second place was Carbrera, also a first-time competitor, reviewed the most articles (94). Their enthusiasm was a treat to witness. Congrats to you both! The competition went relatively smoothly, with very little drama this time. We had to clarify one rule: in order for the points to count, you must mark your reviews as completed; it's not up to the judges to ensure that all reviews are completed by the end of a round. We were strict about adhering to this clarification, especially at the end of the final. We intend on stressing it in the stated rules for our next competition, which will be announced soon, so watch out for it. We also intend on applying for a grant through Wikimedia to include gift certificates for our winners, to further incentivize the GA Cup. MrWooHoo should receive special recognition for acting as our main judge, and for stepping in for the rest of the judges when real-life busyness took over. He reviewed the majority of the submissions during our final round. Thanks for your hard work, and for the hard work of all our judges. We look forward to the next competition. Again, thanks to all our competitors, and congrats to our winners. Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

DYK for The Xindi
On 2 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Xindi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that changes to T'Pol's costume in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "The Xindi" were made to appeal to the 18–49 male demographic? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Xindi. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, The Xindi), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

DYK for Star Trek
I've seen that you have been producing DYK entries for various Star Trek articles in preparation for the 50th anniversary on September 8th. I recently turned Ishka from a redirect to a full-fledged article. I'm still waiting on a few sources, but felt it was large enough and sourced enough to be brought live. Is there any information at Ishka that you think would be suitable for a DYK hook? — fourthords | =Λ= | 18:10, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Fourthords: The Wallace Shawn in drag line would make a good comedy hook, alternatively something about overacting due to the heavy prosthetics or something about the volume of prosthetics would be interesting. Miyagawa (talk) 20:31, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'd been staring at the text of it for so long, I couldn't decide what was "hook-worthy" and what wasn't, if anything. — fourthords | =Λ= | 02:15, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Fourthords: Just saw the nomination - you might want to slot the Wallace Shawn image into the article, otherwise it can't be used in the hook. Miyagawa (talk) 17:42, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Hey Miyagawa
In your multitudinous edits to The City of the Edge of Forever you got the facts wrong about the music. You do not know everything like you pretend. Perhaps you should be advised to watch the episode in question so you know what you are talking about. The song "Goodnight Sweetheart" was only used once in the episode and since there were various versions of the song released in 1931 it would help to provide the information which version of the song was used in the television episode. If you alter the music section again I will take it to arbitration Dickie birdie (talk) 10:50, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Can you or Yoninah find more on this?♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:51, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- I've had a look and the fairly common name is making the search difficult. But I'll keep trying. All I've found so far is a story about when Sammy Davis Jr. was staying at a different hotel and charged it back to the 500 Club, who promptly turned around and refused to pay for it, resulting in an arrest warrant being issued for Davis. Oh, and a brief mention of a wedding being held there. I'll keep checking. Miyagawa (talk) 12:57, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
- I found a lot doing searches on "500 Club Atlantic City". There's an interesting historical picture here which might be of use. Yoninah (talk) 00:14, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- That helped a great deal. Managed to find a couple of snippets on Newspapers.com, but most of it was already there. Added what unique stuff I found. Miyagawa (talk) 09:19, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Development of Spock
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Development of Spock. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Spock. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Spock – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. David.moreno72 10:57, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
