I have yet to tell you how my account was born. LOL. I posted somthuing in the village pump two days ago, and was suspected of being a sock puppet. But, enough with that. I am now currently trying to expand the article on Bronnitsy ( my Russian hometown) by translating it from Russian to English.

Hi. I am unable to redirect an ip account page. This is because the ip is not tied to you, the editor, and may be used by another editor at some future date. The notice on the ip talkpage notes that it belongs to an ISP's pool, so this is quite likely. As long as you edit appropriately with this account, then there is no need to look at edits from earlier ip addresses. I hope this answers your query.

Hi, Buggie! I think your best bet would be to present this new format at WP:SOVMETRO. I am not a member of that project, but I think its participants would be interested to look at your proposal.
If you want my personal opinion, though, I think that upgrading the list is a good idea overall, but I don't quite like the implementation. For my tastes, there's too much pink, the table borders are too thick, the navigational template could use some cleanup, and the table layout still needs work. But I think you are on the right track with this. Hope this helps. Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:41, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

In regards to your question on my talk page, I think when in doubt bring it up on the contest talk page. This first month we'll probably be making a few 'rules' up as we go so it is probably the best idea to have input from everyone that is participating.

Greetings, I think that a proper name for such an article would be "Battle of the Arges". Unfortunately, the amount of reliable English sources regarding Romania in World War I is very limited so it would be almost impossible to make a broad article on this topic. Feel free to create the article, add as much info as you can, and I'll promise to look over it and try to improve its quality. Regarding your adminship offer, I wish to thank you for it but I'll be forced to decline since my wiki-time is currently very limited and I'm considering even not to candidate for another term as a WPMILHIST coordinator. Thanks and best regards, --Eurocopter (talk) 20:59, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Your fix of that really clumsy sentence was good, but you lost some content there. That treaty prohibited the building of new battleships with one minor exception, except to replace old ones. So both the US and Japan (probably Great Britain also, but I haven't read that much about British battelships) did extensive rebuilds of most of their existing ships. I'm going to edit your edit and see what you think, but possibly not today.--Busaccsb (talk) 19:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
So you mean it allowed rebuilding of war losses? Haven't really read the article. Buggie111 (talk) 19:37, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
A link to the full text of the treaty can be found on the Washington Naval Treaty page. The treaty was pretty amazing. It stipulated a 5:5:3 ratio of capital ship tonnage for the US, Britain, and Japan and stipulated exactly which ships (by name) were to be kept and which were to be scrapped. Almost all capital ships under construction were to be scrapped. A couple were allowed to be completed to their original design, and a couple were allowed to be completed as carriers. Construction of only two new ships was authorized: the Britis were allowed to build two ships (the Nelson) class. These and all future capital ships were limited to 35,000 tons. All the ships to be kept were allowed to be scrapped and replaced after 20 years (and this is spelled out ship by ship). In case of accidental loss, a ship could be replaced immediately. As for modernizations, the treaty also spelled out what kinds of modernizations were allowable, and this had a tonnage limit. --Busaccsb (talk) 23:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I was surprised to read In other words, your how (this editor) should look like. This reads to me as a personal attack on the editor which you named - and seems unnecessary to the RfA it was placed on.
I wouldn't object to you contacting the named editor and making a comment along those lines on their talk page, but I feel that it is inappropriate on the above RfA, and so I would like to ask that you remove that part of your support (rather than to strike it out, as then it would still be there) - I may agree with your sentiments, but BigDom's RfA is not the place to put it!

If we can get it to the point of being a viable article, I'm all for including it. As for Paris, that's somewhat peripheral to Normandy, which officially ended with the closing of the Falaise Gap on 21 August. Paris was a few days later and wasn't technically part of the Battle of Normandy in that regard. Cam (Chat) 15:57, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

I could certainly try and do my best, and the result will probably even make some sense in English, but if you can think of a different person to ask, I'd recommend you try them first.

I was updating the Regina Elena infobox to include conversions and noticed that Jane's Battleships differs significantly from Conway's which is what I used. I'm going to bring this up at the OMT talk page so we can get other people to check their sources as I'm not sure that Jane's isn't just a reprint of the contemporary wartime (and unreliable) volumes of Jane's Fighting Ships. I had planned to work on this class this week as I told you when I said that I had no plans for the Franz Ferdinand. My normal policy is not to claim a ship or class until I'm ready to work on it, but you've claimed a number well in excess of your ability to work in the immediate future. Please trim back your plans to include only those ships that you can write about now. You can always reclaim them whenever you're ready to work on them if nobody else has started work. Please note that my name and Parsecboy's may be all over the page, but only on articles we've worked on or plan to shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:56, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
I know, mister 50 GA writer. I didn't really want to be "Just like the big league players", but basically just thought that getting a couple of facts into one-sentance stubs wouldn't hurt. I'll trim down a lot (heck with it, a gets me another wiki-space edit). And also, I'll try to either a.Get the Conway's book or b.) cut back on Armament citing from Janes and only use it for history (which it describes in a very short and annoying manenr).

The article Hurricane Douglas (2002) 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 seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Hurricane Douglas (2002) for things which need to be addressed.

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

Given the comments about how most of the pages describe the class, perhaps you could simply combine the pages into a single one for the class as a whole, with sections for each ship, and submit that?

Buggie, I have to ask you to withdraw two of your three open ACRs. We have an unwritten rule on allowing one open review at a time like FAC. We relax that rule occasionally for those editors who have massive amounts of experience in writing quality articles, but this is rare. The reasons for this rule is so that the reviewers are not exhausted by reviewing three similar to identical articles at the same time as well as reducing the strain on the entire system (which admittedly is not a problem currently due to the low amount of reviews). Also, editors who are new to the system have found having more than one review ongoing can be a strain on their priorities as well. -MBK004 21:05, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
So which reviews are staying and which are gone, and who are the noms. That way I know which ones to clean-up with my delete button per WP:CSD#G6, before making the notifications. -MBK004 21:28, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, your idea was good except that various facts were so incorrect that I thought it was beter to remove the info than display incorrect information. Example : the Admiral class's main guns were mounted in barbettes, not in turrets. This distinction is important in a warship. You stated that that the secondary guns were 13.5 inch - they were in fact 6-inch. The photo you added of a 3-pounder Hotchkiss shows the gun on a different type of mounting to what they were mounted on on the Admirals - i.e. the picture was misleading, if you use an image it should relate directly to the subject, not indirectly. So I would recommend that for historical stuff you think about each fact as you type it - ask "is this correct for this article, do I understand what it means and does it make sense" - sometimes even published authors make silly mistakes and we don't need to copy their mistakes into Wikipedia. But your idea and intention is good, so please don't give up just because I reverted your edit. regards, Rod. Rcbutcher (talk) 15:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
I am sorry - but I think you need to understand more about ships in order to describe them. Let me use protection as an example:
You can see that the protection is actually quite complicated.
Then there is the armament.
It is also worth considering how much ammunition was carried. Some ships like the Italian Duilio saved weight by carrying less ammunition.
What is known about fire control on these ships?
Movement.
Other qualities of the ships.
I hope this helps.--Toddy1 (talk) 20:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't know an easy way to find what you need. In an ideal world, WP:RUSSIA would be tracking all of its DYKs, but in reality it just ain't so. A possible solution would be to harness this tool—select "Article lists" in the column to the left, enter "Russia" into the "Project" field and 0 into the "Page namespace" field (0 stands for main article space), click the "filter by category" checkbox, and enter "Wikipedia Did you know articles" into the "Talk page category" field. Check "Don't try to compute an overall count" checkbox (it helps speed things up; or at least not abort the query prematurely). Click "Generate list". It takes an awful long time to run, but eventually you'll get a list of all WikiProject Russia's articles which have a DYK banner on the talk page. However, you'll need to review them individually to see which ones would work for the Moscow Portal. Hope this helps at least to some extent! You might also want to ask around at the Village Pump in case someone knows a better solution.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); May 18, 2010; 20:57 (UTC)

Generally speaking, the technical stuff should be on the main class page, with only a short summary on the individual ships (unless the ship had modifications that made it different from the other ships in the class—for instance, compare SMS Hindenburg, SMS Derfflinger, and Derfflinger-class battlecruiser). The individual ship articles should be mostly service history. And I know this is difficult to do with ships like the Austrian battleships, but trust me, there is information out there. Take SMS Brandenburg for example; the only big thing the ship ever did was the expedition to China during the Boxer Rebellion, and even that was uneventful.
I think the problem is that you're trying to do too many articles at once. These obscure ships take a long time to put together properly. In the case of Brandenburg, I created it in 2007, and only got it beaten into fairly decent shape in March of this year. Granted, I only started seriosly improving it on 1 March, but I wasn't finished until the end of the month. Do you see what I mean? It's going to take a while to trawl through things like Google Books to find references to these old, obscure ships. Just for Erzherzog Karl there are 111 hits in GB; not all will be useful (indeed most will not), but to put together a quality article, you have to go through these things with a fine-tooth comb.
OMT isn't a project that will be accomplished in 6 months or even a year. Hell, we've already been working as a project for a year formally, and individually at least twice as long. My suggestion to you is to slow down, take each article one at a time, and compare your articles to those others have written that have already successfully passed GA/A/FA. Parsecboy (talk) 14:36, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
My advice? Take one, maybe two, battleships that have a decent amount of sources written on them (I'd suggest one of the WWII American battleships.) From here, research your chosen topic—what did the ship do, what battles did she take part it, when was she refitted, etc.; there should be a decent amount of American BB books around. Decide what you want to emphasize and what you think should be summarized. What is important and what isn't? What would be of interest to a general reader, even if it isn't extremely important?
Basically, I don't think you guys can fully handle ships that require such in-depth researching. American BB FAs require a few books and DANFS. Austro-Hungarian BB FAs require you to consult multiple sources all over the board just looking for any mention of the ship. You may be able to squeak by GA, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are good or complete. I strongly, strongly encourage you guys to take up an American BB or two and create fully comprehensive articles on them. I can help you with recommendations for which are the best source if you would like. I'm sure that you will find writing them a much easier task.

I cannot force you to do anything you don't want to or don't have the time to do. I was only trying to say that I think that you should get to work on them for my list but i the end I finished it anyway. You don't need to feel rushed.

Friendly notice: I noticed that one of the pages you have copy edited points to an article entitled Oath of Office of the President of the United States, which does not appear to be an article. It is probably just a typo, but you should fix it, because you may not get credit for your copy edit if the page doesn't appear to exist. Of course, if it's been deleted, the fact that it doesn't point to anything would make sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quinxorin (talk • contribs) 19:52, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello, you recently expanded the article Italian battleship Andrea Doria (1913) (I'm looking at it because of a reference error on the other article, Andrea Doria class battleship). The expansion talks about a ship named Caio Duilio but doesn't explain why that ship is being discussed on the article for the Andrea Doria. I don't know what your intentions were, so am not about it touch it, would you please revisit and revise? thank you. - Salamurai (talk) 06:38, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Buggie, I've just assessed the four articles you've sought assessments on at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Requests as stub class. My rationale for doing so is that they provide very little coverage of the ships, and most of their content is generic material available (and presumably taken from) the article on the class. I'd strongly suggest that you slow down and devote more time to the articles you're working on. At present you appear to be aiming to only do the absolute minimum needed to get these articles to B class (presumably as part of the contest you're taking part in) when you could be spending more time on providing more comprehensive and better sourced articles.

You shoud use yards or feet for American and meters for British and other ships, not the other way around.
Not necessarily so. IMHO you should go with what the sources say. Modern vessels will probably be described in metres, but historic vessels are likely to be described in imperial measurements if there is any connection to the British Empire. Ships built in Europe may well be described in metres. Maybe you might consider altering your comments. Mjroots (talk) 10:24, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your participation so far! This newsletter by Diannaa (writer) and SMasters (writer and typesetter).

Thanks very much to all who helped with the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive. We were very close to meeting our target of 7,500 articles remaining in the backlog. Our most shining success is the incredible reduction in the backlog of Special Requests. That part of the project saw a drop from 62 articles in the queue, some dating back to February of 2009, down to a stunning THREE, all of which were being edited at the close of the drive. The Special Requests page will now be a great resource for people looking to tidy up their article in advance of a GA or FA nomination, instead of a place where articles go to die.
Moving forward ![]() The drive has not only forced a great leap forward in reducing the backlog. It has helped promote the Guild, and led to a greater awareness of the level of vigilance required to keep the backlog manageable. Ideas such as charts, graphs, and barnstars helped motivate editors, and meeting other users helped quell any feelings gnomish editors may have had in the past that they were toiling all alone. Keep up the good work people!! Stats

Ian Rose (talk) 00:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC) Keep track of upcoming reviews. Just copy and paste |
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:02, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive!
![]() Participation report — We have 71 participants in the September drive. 95 people signed up for the July drive, and in May we had 36. Progress report — We have been making solid progress in eliminating the 2008 articles from the backlog so far. If we continue to focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Overall volumes are lower than expected though, with nearly a thousand articles yet to be done if we are to meet our overall target. If you have not yet participated in the drive, we recommend you do so. If each person who signed up edits one article per day from now till the end of the month we can eliminate another 1,065 articles from the backlog. All contributions are appreciated. Announcement: credit for 10k+ articles — Participants editing a 10k word article may claim credit for two 5k+ articles on the leaderboard. Those that edit a 15k word article may claim credit for three. Regardless, the article is still counted as a single article in the tallies. Reminder — Articles from the Requests page can be included in your tally, even if they do not have a copy edit tag. This is a great place to go if you are interested in finding a higher quality article to work on. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa (Talk), S Masters (talk), HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK, and The Raptor Let's talk. |

This time round, the term has increased from six to twelve months so it is doubly important that you have your say! Please cast your vote here no later than 23:59 (UTC) on Tuesday, 28 September 2010.
With many thanks in advance for your participation from the coordinator team, Roger Davies talk 21:23, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:29, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Can I claim partial credit for this GA? I know that I did not assist in the GAN itself but I am the 3rd largest contributor to the article and I have over 25 edits to. I helped to write it. I'm asking you first because I don't want to look like a trophy collector who is claiming credit for things that he did not do :)--White Shadows Your guess is as good as mine 16:10, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Much thanks for the clarification... and hoping my response didnt sound snippy - I get kinda "matter of fact" at ANIs, and I always fear my responses may be misunderstood in my attempt to clearly state what I feel. I also notice you like cats :-) I had a cat dog cat you probably woulda loved (had to give him away when I moved). He loved to play fetch (taught himself), loved playing, figured out how to open doors, was always there if I was in a bad mood, and tried befriending everything and everyone; including a 160lb rott (the humor of seeing the rott pull down a garbage pail, and Shadow pulling the lid off, followed by the two of them nosing through the pail together was pretty funny to me), a 60lb mutt, and a chinchilla. Wonderful soul he is. ROBERTMFROMLI TALK/CNTRB 01:54, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
Why did you change another editor's question? You're aware we typically don't clean up each other's grammar on posts like this, right? In fact, on this one you arguably changed the meaning of the question. Townlake (talk) 13:20, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Hey there, would you be interested in adopting an user? Please see User:Netalarm/Survey#alexandre_rongellion for more details. This user is interested in history, so you two might be able to also work on an article together. Regarding the user's native language being French, I believe we can ask someone listed at Wikipedia:Local_Embassy if translation is needed, so no worries there. Please reply as soon as possible, thanks. Netalarmtalk 01:28, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for assessing with the PPI, assessing with this project will probably be different than assessing with other projects in Wikipedia. It's different because the many of the articles are stub, start, or C class, and we are not working to assess long lists of articles, but will have multiple reviewers assessing the same set of articles. We are looking for Wikipedians who want to take a more in depth look at assessment and help define what is article quality. Please go to the WP:USPP Assessment page to find more details and your assessment page with the first group of articles for you to evaluate. Thanks and happy editing, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 21:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello, quite pleased of your proposal of adoption. I browsed through your subjects of interest and others, and I was quite attracted by the fact that you do not have a driver's licence and like cats. (Do you know french novelist Cocteau's pun "I prefer cats, because there are no police cats " ?). Anyway, I am pleased to see that you're interested in the Byzantine history and ancient Rome which is quite my hobby nowadays, plus that you are among other of Russian ancestry (hence the interest for Byzance ?). i can see too that you're quite good in computer gimmicks, which I am not. I am currently learning tons of information about ancient history on wikipedia, that are generally not easy to lay a hand on in actual libraries. I think I am a victim of infoglut... Hope I'll learn a few things from you, quite impressed by your medals. One difference though: I loathe computer games, they tend to drive me insane. Bye...--Alexandre Rongellion (talk) 23:43, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Buggie111, recently you signed up to help with assessment on Wikiproject: United States Public Policy. This project is probably different than other assessment drives you have worked on, it involves more assessment of lower ranked articles, it has input and staff from the foundation, and specific goals to improve and measure content of public policy articles. It also involves collaboration from some university classes, we are using an experimental assessment rubric, and most articles will be assessed by multiple reviewers to get a range of scores for each article. It's a lot to digest, and totally understandable if it's not what signed up for. However, there are also some exciting perks to this project: 1) your assessments are part of research that is attempting to increase credibility of Wikipedia in academic circles, 2) there is a great group of assessors involved in discussion of what is article quality and how to measure it, 3) WP:USPP is also piloting the Article Feedback tool, so those involved in assessment on the project will be asked to help improve and rate this tool as well, 4) subject matter experts are assessing articles alongside Wikipedians and comparisons of results will provide some insight as to the rigor of Wikipedia quality rating, and 5) other interesting benefits you will find with participation.
The first group of articles requesting your assessment has been posted. I was hoping to do a preliminary comparison of the data on 8 October 2010. The second assessment request, which is part of the same comparison, will go out about the same time. To help with organization, if you haven't posted any assessment scores on your assessment page by 8 October 2010, I will delete your assessment request and you will not receive further requests. I hope the unusualness of this assessment research does not discourage your participation; if you are not interested working in the research I hope you will continue to assess articles within the project. If possible let me know on my talk page if you don't wish to be a part of the research, or perhaps if there was some confusion or bad communication; what the public policy team, and I, in particular, can do to make it more positive for volunteers. Remember, I am new to Wikipedia and trying to learn the best way to research this project, to hopefully integrate the amazing resource that is Wikipedia onto more university campuses and classrooms. Thanks, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 22:47, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Wow, Buggie111, you are fast! ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) (talk) 22:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi there Buggie111! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 22, 2010. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

SMS Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand was an Austro-Hungarian Radetzky class pre-dreadnought battleship commissioned into the Austro-Hungarian Navy on 5 June 1910. Although SMS Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand was laid down and commissioned after the launching of the HMS Dreadnought in 1906, her design was begun before and had the characteristics of a Pre-Dreadnought battleship rather than later Post-Dreadnought battleships. She was named after Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The first ship of her class to be built, she preceded Radetzky by more than six months. Her armament included four 30.5 cm (12 in) guns in two twin turrets, and eight 24 cm (9.4 in) guns in four twin turrets. She participated in an international naval protest of the Balkan Wars in 1913, during which she helped enforce a blockade of Montenegro. She also was one of the first ships to deploy seaplanes for military use. During World War I, she saw limited service in the 2nd Division of the 1st Battle Squadron, including mobilization to assist the escape of the German ships SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau and the bombardment of Ancona in 1915.

Hello, happy new year and welcome to the 2011 WikiCup! Your submissions' page can be found here and instructions of how to update the page can be found here and on the submissions' page itself. From the submissions' page, a bot will update the main scoresheet. Our rules have been very slightly updated from last year; the full rules can be found here. Please remember that you can only receive points for content on which you have done significant work in 2011; nominations of work from last year and "drive-by" nominations will not be awarded points. Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter. If you want to stop or start receiving newsletters, please remove your name from or add your name to this list. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 12:55, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

The article Eagle County Charter Academy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Yaksar (let's chat) 07:10, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to
Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to
Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is Hurricanehink (submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H.
Piotrus (submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.

Per your request, I have deleted User:Buggie111/Dwight B. Heard. I wanted to drop a note here, however, because you tagged it with ((db-redirtypo)), the tag for CSD criterion R3. The page was ineligible for deletion under that criterion. Most redirects created as the result of non-vandalism pagemoves are ineligible. As a user-space request, the better tag would have been WP:CSD#U1. Less potential for confusion that way.

K' there, all you template masters, I've got a question. When I was working on my copy of List of Moscow metro stations, a template problem popped up. I copied and pasted over the exact coding from ru.wiki, leaving the title, and everythign seemed ok, but, when I added the english version of the template, it went really cazy. I then found out that the (()) version of the template was different than if I had just copied over the text from the template.

Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to Hurricanehink (submissions) and
Nergaal (submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to
Candlewicke (submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

The Guild of Copy Editors – May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive The Guild of Copy Editors invite you to participate in the May 2011 Backlog Elimination Drive, a month-long effort to reduce the backlog of articles that require copy-editing. The drive began on May 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on May 31 at 23:59 (UTC). The goals of this backlog elimination drive are to eliminate as many articles as possible from the 2009 backlog and to reduce the overall backlog by 15%. ! NEW ! In an effort to encourage the final elimination of all 2009 articles, we will be tracking them on the leaderboard for this drive. Awards and barnstars We look forward to meeting you on the drive!

Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 backlog elimination drive update
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 Backlog elimination drive! Here is your mid-drive newsletter.
![]() So far, 54 people have signed up for the drive, and 33 are actively participating. If you signed up for the drive but have not participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you have not signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now. If you have questions about getting started, feel free to talk to us. Many thanks to those editors who have been helping out at the Requests page. We currently have 17 articles awaiting edit.
We are making slow progress on achieving our target of reducing the overall backlog by 15%; in order to accomplish this goal we will need to complete about 400 more articles. However, we are making good progress on the 2009 backlog, as we have eliminated over half of the articles from 2009 that were present at the start of the drive. Let's concentrate our fire power on the remaining months from 2009; leaderboard awards will be handed out for 2009 articles this drive. Thank you for participating in the May 2011 drive. We hope it will be another success! Your drive coordinators – S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), Tea with toast, Chaosdruid, and Torchiest |

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by
Racepacket (submissions),
Hurricanehink (submissions) and
Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.
A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 backlog elimination drive report
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors May 2011 Backlog elimination drive. Thank you for participating!
![]() There were 63 signups for the drive; of these, 45 participated. Although we did not award a bonus for articles from the Requests page this drive, we are not experiencing lengthy delays in getting the articles processed. Many thanks to editors who have been helping out at the Requests page and by copy editing articles from the backlog.
During the month of May we reduced the backlog by approximately 10%, and made remarkable progress on eliminating articles tagged from 2009. There are now only 15 articles left, down from the 415 that were present when the drive started. Since our backlog drives began in May 2010 with 8,323 articles, we have cleared more than 54% of the backlog. A complete list of results and barnstars awarded can be found here. Barnstars will be distributed over the next week. If you enjoyed participating in our event, you may also like to join the Wikification drives, which are held on alternate months to our drives. Their June drive has started.
The six-month term for our first tranche of Guild coordinators will be expiring at the end of June. We will be accepting nominations for the second tranche of coordinators, who will also serve a six-month term. Nominations will open starting on June 5. For complete information, please have a look at the election page. Please feel free to contact any coordinator if you have any questions or need assistance. Your project coordinators are S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), Tea with toast (Talk), Chaosdruid (talk), and Torchiest (talk). |

We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by
Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by
Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by
Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.
No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.
We would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and
Stone (submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors
The latest GOCE backlog elimination drive is under way! It began on 1 July and so far 18 people have signed up to help us reduce the number of articles in need of copyediting. This drive will give a 50% bonus for articles edited from the GOCE requests page. Although we have cleared the backlog of 2009 articles there are still 3,935 articles needing copyediting and any help, no matter how small, would be appreciated. We are appealing to all GOCE members, and any other editors who wish to participate, to come and help us reduce the number of articles needing copyediting, as well as the backlog of requests. If you have not signed up yet, why not take a look at the current signatories and help us by adding your name and copyediting a few articles.

We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are Adabow (submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and
PresN (submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article (White-bellied Sea Eagle, from
Casliber (submissions)) and two featured lists (Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from
Another Believer (submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!
There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC.

The drive will begin on September 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and will end on September 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles in the backlog, as we want to copy edit as many of those as possible. Please consider copy editing an article that was tagged in 2010. Barnstars will be given to anyone who edits more than 4,000 words, with special awards for the top 5 in the categories "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words".

The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists, Another Believer (submissions),
Piotrus (submissions),
Grandiose (submissions),
Stone (submissions),
Eisfbnore (submissions),
Canada Hky (submissions) and
MuZemike (submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.
In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has been a discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha (talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.
A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

How about we both don't take offense? However if you want run to an admin, it is free and available. I'm not interested in controlling anything beyond not having to copy write it endlessly. Secondly the article is getting over long. Thirdly sometimes you really don't have a choice but to go to a website, unfortunately. Fourthly, we have both offered to help this fellow out with a few copy writes to help him out. There have been lots of edits to the Battle of Borodino and for the most part I let them be, just as every editor out here does. That being said there are a few of us that try out best to keep the article on the beam more or less. We have lots of folks that would rewrite this to something that better suites their personal tastes. See all the fun that has been had with the results box for one. Websites have been used to replace cited content from RS sources, usually as a means of changing the results of the battle or rewording the article for the same reason. Now actually I am an American so I don't really care who won except for the glaring fact that we are presenting a history to the public and it is supposed to be the truth, or at least as close as we can get.
This fellow has done nothing wrong besides a fair amount of bad grammar. As for sources, actually in this case it would be better to use a recent history from a main stream author mainly because the farther back you get the more distorted the truth becomes. Chandler was quite the Napoleonic Scholar and managed to blow it several times. Asking a new Editor to sort out the good from the bad is asking a bit much.
Now as for the reason I probably sounded a bit harsh?
I know the rules here, so do you, lets both assume we intend on following the letter and spirit of the intent.
As I told Alex, the problem is that new editors tend to go to the articles where the bar is set very high. They get reverted and frustrated and quit. It grates on my nerves and isn’t my forte but if we don’t help the new Editors out we are never going to get really good new editors. I intend on helping him out. God knows there are precious few that really want to work on the Russian articles as is and I need every one I can get. I hope that explains where I am at. We are both trying to help him and there are lots of articles that any Russian speaker can do and frankly that I can’t. I can’t get decent sources.Tirronan (talk) 05:34, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
I am pleased to inform you that you have been elected as a coordinator of the Military history WikiProject. Congratulations on your achievement, and thank you for volunteering!
Discussions of our plans for the coming year will no doubt begin in the next few days. In the meantime, please make sure that you have the coordinators' discussion page on your watchlist, as most of the relevant activity happens there. If you have not already done so, you may want to read the relevant courses in the project academy, as well as the discussion page and its recent archives.
If you have any questions about your work as a coordinator, or anything else, please don't hesitate to ask me directly. Kirill [talk] [prof] 02:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by Miyagawa (submissions),
Hurricanehink (submissions) and
Sp33dyphil (submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink and Northrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's 1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.
If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi,
I was nosing around the MilHist Coords talk, and notice you were trying to develop standard MilHist Awards for those conducting Reviews for the project at User:Buggie111/milhistcoord toolbox. Not sure if you're familiar with how to create subst: templates similar to barnstars, so that instead of trying to copy/paste all that code and hope it works, you could just use something like ((subst:WP:MILHIST/Awards/Reviewer/1|Jul|Sept|2011|~~~~))
which would add the award with the start-end period, year, and the to/from details automatically. Depends if you're familiar with how to create such templates, but if you're not, drop me a message, if you're interested in awards processed like that, as I don't mind helping you set them up.

Hi, Thanks for the note you left for me (about the article User:Sanjaydasgupta54/VisualLangLab) on Breawycker's talk page.
I had missed your note earlier, but will make the changes/additions suggested, and notify you when done.
Sanjaydasgupta54 (talk) 15:14, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I've added a short bio to my user page that also mentions the fact that I am the creator of VisualLangLab (the subject matter of the article in question).
I also re-read the article itself, and believe it meets the "good article" requirements. You may sense a sales pitch at some places, but that is inevitable given that the tool's raison d'etre is that it simplifies -- almost trivializes -- what was hitherto a complex process requiring advanced knowledge and skills. For example, to test a parser, you can achieve by clicking a button what other tools (e.g. JavaCC, ANTLR, etc.) can accomplish only after a tedious three-step (generate parser, compile, run parser) manual process.
If you have any other observations I'll be happy to address them.
Thanks for your help.
Sanjaydasgupta54 (talk) 17:30, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Buggie, please don't self-assess articles that you've worked on for B-class. Please let the people at WP:MHAR do so as they're neutral parties.

Article: Reina Victoria Eugenia class battleship.

Hi, Buggie111. I happened to notice in my travels that you have been using ((sfn)) tags to organise your citations. It's a great tool, isn't it? You might be interested in installing a script: importScript('User:Ucucha/HarvErrors.js'); which detects Harvard citation errors, such as templating a reference that does not appear in the bibliography, or including a source in the bibliography that is not actually cited in the article. Not sure where I heard about it, but it's a great tool.
Also, if you like flatlist, you will love its counterpart, ((ubl)) (unbulleted list). This template can be used in info boxes and other places where lists are required. The advantages are cleaner mark-up, and an easier time parsing the text by screen readers for the vision impaired. Break-tags actually create tiny paragraphs, semantically incorrect. I have done an example at Japanese battleship Tango. Regards, -- Dianna (talk) 04:26, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Buggie, as a Wikipedia who does not have a lot of knowledge about aviation (I think), can you please have a look at a FAC that is stalling quite badly? The article involved is McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II, and the FAC can be found here. Please do not think what I'm doing here is canvassing (!), because Ucucha, one of the FAC delegates, says that I can ask some specific people like you to comment on the article, to get the ball rolling again. Can you do me a favour and either "Support" or "Oppose" the article? The FAC doesn't have any objections at the moment, but I hate to see FACs go down because of a lack of interest instead of the articles being non-FA worthy. Cheers! Sp33dyphil © • © 04:55, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
It was my first. My memory engrams clearly tell me that I corrected the text (you can even see that the number of days and threads were changed from the original), but the lack of proof in the article history suggests that my memory may have been altered to conceal something terribly sinister.
In all seriousness, yeesh, thanks for catching that.--~TPW 20:36, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.
Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited to sign up and participate in our straw polls.

Hello Buggie111. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know however, regarding Peter Shatner (actor, author, producer), that tagging articles for speedy deletion moments after creation as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3) and articles created through the Article Wizard, is too fast. It's best to wait at least 10 - 15 minutes for more content to be added, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), pure vandalism (G3), and copyright violations (G12) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Hi Buggie111!
I understand that an official welcome message was overlooked upon approval of your application to join the Global Education Program as an Online Ambassador. My apologies. Welcome just the same! The steps you need to take now, a few things you need to read, are bolded.
When you get a chance, please add your username to the official list of Online Ambassadors and add a profile for yourself here (which helps match Online Ambassadors with classes in their areas of interest).
Here are some things you should know to help you get started:
The main role of for an Online Ambassador is to join the "pod" for one or more participating classes. The pod is the team of people helping a class of students contribute effectively to Wikipedia, consisting of the course instructor, the local Campus Ambassadors who will work with the class in person, the Online Ambassadors who work with the class online, and the Regional Ambassador for the pod who will check in periodically with the pod to make sure everything is going well.
A prototypical pod might look something like this:
(That's an idealization, but it gives you an idea of the spectrum of people in each of the roles in the program.)
The expections for an Online Ambassador in a pod (and what you can expect from other pod members) are laid out in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between pod members. In short the role of the Online Ambassador is to:
To join a pod, go to the MOU signup page, which lists the courses for the current term, and leave your signature in one of the Online Ambassador slots for the pod you want to join.
You can also help as an Online Ambassador outside of your role as a pod member, anywhere you see students who could use help. Feedback on the substance (rather than style and formatting) of student articles, in particular, is always a need.
If you use IRC, please consider adding #wikipedia-en-ambassadors and #wikipedia-en-classroom to your channel lineup. The latter is the main help channel for the program, where students and instructors come from time to time in search of live help.
Wikipedia Ambassadors are expected to follow the Wikipedia Ambassadors Principles. Please review them.
There are three main places for news, updates and discussion about Wikipedia Ambassadors and the Global Education Program:
Newsletters about the program, or messages for Online Ambassadors particularly, may be delivered to your talk page on occasion.
Thanks for volunteering as a Wikipedia Ambassador! If you have any questions, please let me know.
