WikiProject Good Articles's 2015 GA Cup - Round 3
 Greetings, all! We hope that everyone had a nice summer. Saturday saw the end of Round 2. Things went relatively smoothly this month. The top 2 from 4 pools, plus the top participant (the wildcard, or "9th place") of all remaining competitors, moved onto Round 3. We had one withdrawal early in Round 2, so he was replaced by the next-highest scorer from Round 1. Round 2's highest scorer was Pool D's Tomandjerry211, who earned an impressive 366 points; he also reviewed the most articles (19). Close behind was Zwerg Nase, also in Pool D, at 297 points and 16 articles. The wildcard slot went to Good888. Congrats to all! Round 3 will have 9 competitors in 3 pools. The key to moving forward was reviewing articles with the longest nomination dates, as it has been in every round up to now. For example, 2 competitors only needed to review 2 articles each to win in their pools, and each article were either from the pink nomination box (20 points) or had languished in the queue for over 5 months (18 points). The GA Cup continues to be a success in many ways, even with fewer competitors this time. For some reason, the competitors in the 2015 GA Cup have reviewed fewer articles in Round 2, which has made the judges scratch their head in confusion. We've speculated many reasons for that: the summer months and vacations, our competitors are saving their strength for the final rounds, or they all live in the Pacific Northwest and the heavy wildfire smoke has affected their thinking. Whatever the reason, Round 2 competitors reviewed almost 100 articles, which is a significant impact in the task of reviewing articles for GA status. We've considered that the lower participation this competition is due to timing, so we intend to discuss the best time frame for future GA Cups. For Round 3, participants have been placed randomly in 3 pools of 3 contestants each; the top editor in each pool will progress, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users. Round 3 will start on September 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on September 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here. Good luck to the remaining contestants, and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6 and Jaguar, and MrWooHoo.

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.

New page tagging of DJ Miguel Novillo
Quote: "debuted at number one on the Nigerian Albums Chart and earned a gold certification from the German Pornographic Industry. Its lead single, "I Made This Up", became Miguel's first number one on the E harmony Singles Chart. All two of the album's singles; "Little White Lies" and "I Forgot What I Ate For Lunch Today" reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, making it the first album in history to cause world peace. Miguel has collaborated with numerous other recording artists, including Paris Hilton, Donald Trump, The Baby In The Sun From Teletubbies, OJ Simpson, and Iggy Azalea. His collaboration with Rihanna led to two singles and one lovechild."
Does any of that sound remotely credible to you? ;) Please tag these as G3 - hoax or vandalism so that they can be binned quickly. Valenciano (talk) 20:37, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
M3 re-write
If you are going to rewrite, I'd recommend either to use a sandbox and rewrite the whole article and then replace when ready, or rewrite and replace a section at a time. Blanking multiple sections before rewriting, isn't the way to go about it. GraemeLeggett (talk) 14:35, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
Hello; just so you are aware, when tagging a page with a speedy deletion template, the rationale given must be one of the authorized criteria listed at the speedy deletion page. Even if you put a custom explanation, it must still cite one of the listed criteria. Wikipedia policies in general such as "Not a guidebook" are not one of the listed criteria(though they could be listed as a Proposed Deletion rationale) so I changed it to the Spam criteria. 331dot (talk) 18:27, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
2016 GA Cup
Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list.

Non-breaking spaces
Please don't advise other editors to insert non-breaking spaces between digits and units unless the unit is an abbreviation. The relevant guidance is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers #Unit names and symbols: "Except as shown in the "Specific units" table below, a space appears between a numeric value and a unit name or symbol. In the case of unit symbols,
The emphasis on symbols is in the guidance (and there's a hidden comment in the text further emphasising the point). You can check the usage within the text of the Manual of Style and also the output of the {{convert}} template to confirm that we do not employ a non-breaking space between numerical values and unit names (or any other normal word). We only use between a numerical value and an abbreviated unit or symbol. So use 6 metres and 6 m - but don't mix them up. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 21:25, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
, {{nbsp}}, or {{nowrap}} should be used to prevent linebreak."

2016 GA Cup-Round 2
Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Sainsf took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points. In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year! At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490. 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 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule. Good luck and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Tomandjerry211, you opened this review over a month ago on March 5, and haven't been back to actually do the review since. This article was nominated last August, so to make it wait another month is most unfortunate, especially since you've been starting new GA reviews in the month since.
If you plan to get back to it in the next few days, that's fine. If it's going to take longer, then it's only fair that the nomination be put back into the reviewing pool, since it would be the oldest unreviewed nomination by two months and probably snatched up within a day or two.
Let me know your plans; if I don't hear back, I'll assume that you won't be returning to the review and will put it back into the reviewing pool. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:18, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Don't have time. Put in back in pool.--Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 21:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. I'll make arrangements. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:12, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Tomandjerry211, I hate to be bothering you again so soon, but I just noticed this review that has been sitting for a few weeks, though this time you did do an initial review.
Do you want to continue pursuing this? Royroydeb has not replied to the review or done any editing on the article since last year. I can either put the article on hold and give RRD a final week to respond (but that only makes sense if you're prepared to continue if there is a response), or put the nomination back into the reviewing pool, leaving the unfinished review available for a future reviewer to refer to when doing a new review on a separate page. Please let me know your pleasure. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:58, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think I'm ready for a potential response. I was gonna fail it until I saw this. I agree with you on giving him one more week.Tomandjerry211 (alt) (talk) 00:31, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- Good to see you back. Royroydeb was notified by Sainsf on his talk page a week ago, and hasn't done anything with the article since then, so you may or may not think that said week has already been given—you might prefer to give a week from your impending response. Dharmadhyaksha made four edits yesterday, but I don't know whether they addressed anything you raised in the review. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- The week's up, and the nomination is over ten months old. Time to end it. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:15, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

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 [3]; at the end of Round 2, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months.[4] 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.

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.

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 [5]; at the end of Round 3, the longest wait had decreased significantly, to a little over 5 months [6]—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.
