WikiCup 2010 June newsletter

We're half way through 2010, and the end of the WikiCup is in sight! Round 3 is over, and we're down to our final 16. Our pool winners were Ian Rose (submissions) (A), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (B, and the round's overall leader), Colombia ThinkBlue (submissions) (C) New South Wales Casliber (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions) (D, joint), but, with the scores reset, everything is to play for in our last pooled round. The pools will be up before midnight tonight, and have been selected randomly by J Milburn. This will be the toughest round yet, and so, as ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Though unaffiliated with the WikiCup, July sees the third Great Wikipedia Dramaout- a project with not dissimilar goals to the WikiCup. Everyone is welcome to take part and do their bit to contribute to the encyclopedia itself.

If you're interested in the scores for the last round of the Cup, please take a look at Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Round 3 and Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Full/Round 3. Our thanks go to Bavaria Stone (submissions) for compiling these. As was predicted, Group C ended up the "Group of Death", with 670 points required for second place, and, therefore, automatic promotion. This round will probably be even tougher- again, the top two from each of the two groups will make it through, while the twelve remaining participants will compete for four wildcard places- good luck everyone! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn, Fox and The ed17

Backlog Elimination Drive Has Begun

Hello, I just wanted to take a moment and announce that the July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive has started, and will run for a month. Thanks for signing up. There's a special prize for most edits on the first day, in case you've got high ambitions. Enjoy! ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 04:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

John James (US Army officer)

Hello! Your submission of John James (US Army officer) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! --Pgallert (talk) 09:09, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I have shifted around the content a bit (It was not all "biography"). If you're happy with it, could you please briefly add the ref that verifies the new "Biography" paragraph? - From the previous structure I assume it is #2 but I'm not entirely sure. --Pgallert (talk) 11:11, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
I did not create the article so I do not have the offline refs with me. The creator(he is on an ip range) has created similar articles on military subjects so I'm assuming that they are notable. Some have even achieved DYK status. I've left a message for him about it here. BejinhanTalk 11:55, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Just a thought...

Hi

I can see you're trying to address the concerns in the Article review for Malaysia, and I think you're doing a great job.

I just have a thought about the lead section.

Having less than 4 paragraphs is fine, but that isn't really an argument for removing stuff. If you read the rest of the review it says the lead should briefly cover every major point in the article.

If you look at articles like London, that shows that it's a restructure that's needed - yes, 4 paragraphs, but with some detail.

I quickly edited the existing lead to:User:Begoon/Sandbox/Malaysia Lead. I haven't done much to it - but it shows how you can accommodate the current content basically in one paragraph, leaving 3 more to expand on the other sections.

It's only a thought, but it could be an idea to build that as the other sections are worked through, until we have a good, strong 4 paragraph lead.

Let me know what you think - Begoon (talk) 10:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thank you, it sounds like a great idea to me.
I saw that was what a number of country articles had too(ex, Australia which is an FA).
Actually, I had to go offline to attend to some matters but I was going to edit the flora/fauna paragraph... I thought of creating a new section and adding more info about Malaysian flora and fauna(ie. remove the Malaysia has a biodiverse range of flora and fauna, and is considered one of the 17 megadiverse countries. and putting it into a separate section, since flora/fauna is not mentioned in the article).
I thought that the economy paragraph was too short for the lead.
I appreciate the feedback and will work on having a good 4-paragraph lead. I really need help in this as I'm not too familiar with editing an article for GA. :) Is it ok if I "borrow" your sandbox to work on it? BejinhanTalk 11:59, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
You are welcome to do whatever you like in that Sandbox page - I added some dummy text/headings etc, so it feels like the real article, and you can see the "shape" of what you do. I'll help too when I can - but I'm not sure when I'll be on or offline. No need to rush too much, though - if we work on it methodically as we go through the article it'll be a much better final result. Your idea is good about expanding the flora/fauna into its own section - if it's one of the 17 nations, then that surely deserves a section of its own. It still deserves a mention in one of the lead paragraphs. My idea would be that you could write one sentence to summarise nearly every one of the many sections, then combine them into the 4 para lead. I'm happy to help copyedit that. You can see from the way it was easy to combine basically the whole of what is there into 1 para, that shouldn't be too hard - and anyway, I enjoy that copyediting part. - Begoon (talk) 12:15, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Quick note

Hi

So that you are fully "in the picture", I suspect that IPs repeatedly adding this link at Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and various other places is all probably related to this ongoing nonsense: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Her631 (look at the Archived cases too.) It may not be directly related but I'm sure I can hear some quacking going on... :) - Begoon (talk) 12:01, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

GOCE July 2010 backlog elimination drive chart

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update.

Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue.

Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board.

The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated.

This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), and The Raptor Let's talk.

WP:TROUT

{{trout}}
This was one of the most blatant assumptions of bad faith that I have seen on Wikipedia. I'm sorry, but you left me no choice. SwarmTalk 03:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hahahaha! Wow. All right, fair enough, fair enough. You turned out to be right. I can't say it changes my message; I thought they just as well could've been a new, confused user (as such instances seem to happen occasionally). I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, that certainly is an interesting twist, though. SwarmTalk 08:27, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
The trout came before they were blocked. At that point, their history was irrelevant. They had 50 edits. There's no way I or anyone would've supported them. I saw no behavior that was unbelievable for a newbie. All that aside, I hope you didn't take the trout personally, it's supposed to be more of a lighthearted jest than an admonishment, and I was just being sarcastic when I said "you left me no choice". So yeah, don't take it as a big deal -- it just seemed like you were bitin' a newcomer at the time. Since they turned out to not to be a newcomer, there's no worries :D...right? SwarmTalk 10:05, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, yes, of course. People receive trouts differently, I guess. I swear, I would be the one to send a trout for assuming bad faith the one time someone's actually acting in bad faith. :P Anyway, no hard feelings, of course. Regards, SwarmTalk 10:25, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 July newsletter

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by Hungary Sasata (submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (Hungary Sasata (submissions), Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by New South Wales Casliber (submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by Finland Suomi Finland 2009 (submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition.

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!


Stats
If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you edited in the May 2010 GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive, your word totals are cumulative for barnstars (not the leaderboard). Over the course of the next week or two, we will be handing out the barnstars.

You have made a critcial error

You allowed the recreation of an article that was deleted via a recent AfD. The IPW New Zealand Heavyweight Championship has an existing consensus that it is not notable due to a complete lack of independent third party sources to prove notability. The article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Thank you. !! Justa Punk !! 23:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

I did not make an error. The speedy deletion tag has been removed. Please check the previous deleted version. The new version is different and therefore, the repost deletion tag should not be used in this case. Bejinhan talks 04:45, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
It is NOT different. It is substantially the same and was ruled not notable via an AfD. It doesn't have to be exactly the same to fall under a speedy deletion. !! Justa Punk !! 06:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I did not say that it has to be exactly the same. Prove that it is substantially different. You wouldn't know whether it is different or not seeing that you can't view the deleted version. Bejinhan talks 06:16, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
I remember the deleted version because I nominated it previously and VERY recently. It has the same issues of notability and this has not been addressed. Anyway - to avoid an argument, I've re-nominated it for deletion. I challenge you and the other article supporters to verify it's notability when you didn't previously. !!

Hi

I'm wondering if you could copy-edit Manufacturing in Hong Kong. As you are the only contributor in the last section of WP:PRV who speaks Chinese (or claims to speak Chinese in the userboxen), I think I've come to the right person for help. :P I know my prose needs a bit of improvement before it will ever pass GAN. BTW this is not a rush and I've read the message on top, so feel free to (checking the thesaurus for another word that means procrastinate but in a more positive light) take your time. Thanks a million. Kayau Voting IS evil 04:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'll do it after my Wikibreak. I can speak Chinese but it's not very good.... let's say that it suffice for a broken conversation. ;) I might copy the whole article into a sandbox and then merge it after I've completed or I'll just do it on the article itself.
