Your GA nomination of With You (Kaskade and Meghan Trainor song)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article With You (Kaskade and Meghan Trainor song) 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 Kyle Peake -- Kyle Peake (talk) 21:01, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Meghan Trainor
 | Hello, MaranoFan. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Meghan Trainor at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 02:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC) |
- Hi MaranoFan, regarding your edit here, I used "affects" correctly; one of its meanings is "to start to wear or do something in order to make people admire or respect you" (see here). I've never heard of "affectates" and neither has Cambridge University Press. The instance of that you added is superfluous; it conveys no meaning in that context. I won't be reverting though. Cheers, and good luck for your planned FA nom. :) Baffle☿gab 02:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter
The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.
.svg?lang=en){kind=small}
Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, 
MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). 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 your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Timed text
I have now restored the timed text files that you created and I deleted. After so much time I don't know whether deleting them was just a mistake, or whether at the time I knew of some clear justification, but it doesn't seem to be a big enough deal to worry about, so I have given the benefit of the doubt.

Meghan Trainor
I saw this earlier and do believe it has become your first FA. Congrats either way! To be honest, I was wrong about you before and underestimated how much you'd turn yourself around from earlier bad habits after getting unblocked in 2018. Sorry for previously doubting your potential. Keep up the good work! SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 18:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

- Thank you so much for noticing. You're definitely one of the OGs and have seen it all go down. I'm wholeheartedly hoping that Trainor will notice the TFA and tweet about it!--NØ 03:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for quality articles around Meghan Trainor, all those featured lists such as her awards and nominations, and individual albums and songs such as Dear Future Husband, for reviewing and teamwork, for "Be the better and bigger person", - NØ you are an awesome Wikipedian!
You are recipient no. 2427 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:04, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

- ... sorry, I thought I had given it to you a long time ago, and was almost shocked that I didn't. If you know other names where that may have happened, just let me know, here or on the award's talk, - or just pass it yourself! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
Congratulations
Been back on Wikipedia for a few days, and just noticed that Meghan Trainor is now FA. Well done for your perseverance and exceptional work!

DYK for Cardigan (song)
On 12 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Cardigan (song), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Taylor Swift wrote the lyrics to the song "Cardigan" to co-writer Aaron Dessner's music in around five hours? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Cardigan (song)), 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.

Opinion
Hi MaranoFan! I thought I should ask your opinion on this since you are quite an experienced editor here. I have been expanding song articles for GAs on more or less a regular basis since June this year. I usually work on BTS articles and once I complete expanding an article fully, I see the corresponding wiki page in Italian is also updated (using translated prose from the english wiki page). I'm currently working on "Spring Day" in my sandbox and I haven't moved any part of the expanded chunks to the main English wikipedia page yet. However, yesterday I noticed that the Italian wiki had already been updated using the prose and info that I've worked on in my sandbox. It is bothering me because I feel its unfair to kind of copy stuff directly from my "sandbox" to update a page (even though that is on Italian wiki). I don't know if it's right to approach the editor regarding this and I'm also not aware if this generally happens across other articles, so I thought of asking your opinion. Should I confront the editor regarding this? Thank you for taking your time to read this and I really appreciate your response. --Ashleyyoursmile! 14:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, Ashleyyoursmile, if your content is being copied verbatim without attribution then you need to bring it up with the editor. They aren't permitted to do this without attribution and/or permission.--NØ 03:38, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for your help. :) --Ashleyyoursmile! 05:46, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
Lips Are Movin
Hey, I can provide some help with prose concerns, though I am not certain that I would be able to handle all (I'm not an experienced FA editor after all). Probably better to consult a volunteer listed at PR for deeper instructions, but I promise to keep involved with the article with the issues that I pointed out, HĐ (talk) 05:26, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the offer. You also provided a review for "All About That Bass" which I will be taking cues from. I just feel like I'm not as emotionally invested in the Lips article as I was in Meghan Trainor; so I'm not sure if I'm willing to go through the hassles to make it an FA. But the silver lining is I wasn't too hurt by your oppose. :) Honestly, FA is one of those things that lost its shiny thing factor once I got one, but it is a lot of work.--NØ 05:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 September newsletter
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with 865 points being required to qualify for the final round, nearly twice as many points as last year. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with 598 and 605 points being eliminated, and all but two of the contestants who reached the final round having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Bloom6132, with 1478 points gained mainly from 5 featured lists, 12 DYKs and 63 in the news items;
HaEr48 with 1318 points gained mainly from 2 featured articles, 5 good articles and 8 DYKs;
Lee Vilenski with 1201 points mainly gained from 2 featured articles and 10 good articles.
Between them, contestants achieved 14 featured articles, 14 featured lists, 2 featured pictures, 87 good articles, 90 DYK entries, 75 ITN entries, 95 featured article candidate reviews and 81 good article reviews. Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!
