Hi Calvin999, I just wanted to let you know that I have the "{{mono|autopatrolled}}" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on ]. For more information on the patroller right, see ]. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — ] <sup>]</sup> 02:39, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
== FLC ==


*{{flagicon|USA}} ], a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
Not sure how active you are in reviewing articles these days, but I would appreciate commentary ]. ] (] / ]) 22:53, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
*] {{u|Adam Cuerden}}, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
*{{flagicon|Denmark}} ], a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
*{{flagicon|USA}} ] came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
*] ] was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the ] to featured article status.
*{{flagicon|Ohio}} ] was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).


These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!


Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on ].

:And I believe that the crap ] can be merged in this one]]. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 10:17, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
:: Yeah I saw the unreleased one and thought it was a mess. I'm doing ''Confessions'' at the moment, but if you want to add any other albums from your sandbox then feel free. I've formatted the table different to how you have though. I was actually going to ask you at some point to help me with the lead anyway. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 10:20, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Which formatting should we keep? I was referring to the recent song article FLs and that was the formatting I could find. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 10:25, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
:::: I personally think how I do it is better. There's no point having a dedicated row just for a couple of featured artists. It makes it unnecessarily wide. I just put the featured artist in small font under the song title now. It looks a lot cleaner. I did the same for Ariana Grande and I've changed Leona Lewis' too, because she's only ever featured one or two artists, so it was pointless having a whole column with "None" every time. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 10:30, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::Cool, once you are done let me know, I will merge my sandbox content. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 10:34, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::: I'm not editing the article for the time being. If you want to add the albums from your sandbox I haven't done then you can do it now if you like. You'll just have to format them to the current format but you've done the time consuming bit already so it's just some copying and pasting. Also, I've stopped adding the "Indicates single release" because I don't want to make tables single release-centric anymore, as the list is about the songs regardless of whether they were released or not. I don't mind the Solely written by Madonna one though. I think that's informative. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 10:35, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
::::::::Ok doing it now, but I think we need the single release indication atleast, and Madonna also has quite a few promotional releases, so I will indicate them too. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 10:40, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
::::::::: To be honest, her singles discography does that. This is just a list of songs recorded and who wrote them. There needs to be a clearer distinction between the two lists. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 10:42, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::See your point. Cool, but can I add the content now? I don't wanna edit conflict. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 10:45, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::: And with as many singles as she has, I think that much colour can become distracting. Yeah I'm not editing the article. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 10:46, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Calvin let me know when you would stop so that rest of the songs I can add it. This is shaping up pretty good. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 20:11, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2022 September newsletter ==
Actually, its very different because, when I presented the list into GA system, the first reviewer ask me about a Timeline (in plan text) about her evolution and style. I already explained that its already figured in the main article. So I think that the first section its a copy edit, but the last, its good, because is refering about critics (and no details like in WP:UNDUE) about her work and put on the main will be exaggerated large and unnecessary.

I don't know I just commeted about the existing in Spanish Misplaced Pages (that however, the policies are a little different).

:Thanks Chrisonduras, but we do think that the Spanish article is unnecessarily bloated. Calvin999, I finished adding all the officially released songs, now we can expand the lead. As noted above, I want to add the unreleased recorded songs also in a separate section and merge ] here. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 20:43, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
:: For Chrishondura: I'm not underestimating your work Chrishondura, you've clearly worked very hard on that article and done what someone suggested to you, but I agree with IndianBio.
:: For IndianBio: Okay great, thanks. I worry that adding unreleased tracks on that scale would actually impede an FL promotion. I seem to remember something like this happening before for some reason. Unless a song has leaked and there is commentary on that song(s) from third party sources, I don't really see the point of adding unreleased tracks. Unreleased could mean written but not recorded, which would mean that it's not suitable for this list of recorded tracks. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 21:38, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Understandable, but can we see which ones actually had a third party notability and maybe add them? —] <sup>] ]</sup> 10:17, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
:::: Okay. Like on ], I added a few that were very well publicized because she really did record them and we know that. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 10:27, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::I asked ] for his opinion since he is a FL delegate, would know better. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 12:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::: Okay. Now you've added some prose to the lead, we have less than a week to write one and remove the under construction banner in order for it to be nominated at DYK. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 12:24, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Can we go for DYK now? —] <sup>] ]</sup> 12:03, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

:::::::::Lol, can you do that? I have no clue how to raise DYK requests :) —] <sup>] ]</sup> 12:30, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: Really?! Okay. What do you think would be a good hook. Give me some suggestions to include. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 12:35, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::What about ...''Did you know that Madonna wrote ''']''' for her ] by herself?'' —] <sup>] ]</sup> 14:26, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::: I don't think that's interesting enough. It needs to be something quirky. The lead doesn't have anything about genres or lyrical content and themes, which is where something interesting might be found. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 15:44, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::::How about something from one of the poems she recorded? You don't come across singers doing that often. —] <sup>] ]</sup> 20:04, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
Yeah that would be more interesting. That needs to be in the lead though. And the DYK needs to be posted today. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 09:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

:::: The two go hand in hand. That's how a good article review works. If a lot is wrong or not good enough, then that constitutes discussion of failing. At the same time, up to five editors shouldn't be having to spoon feed you as to what is wrong and and what is right, and what to include and what not to include, which is what we've done. But you keep rejecting a lot of points. Why are you in such a rush? You was asking people if the article was ready for GA, they said not yet but you nominated anyway. As soon as it's nominated, you canvass for a reviewer. As soon as a reviewer opens the review, you immediately ask how long it will take. What is your agenda? It all looks suspicious. Assume good faith and be nice to Winkelvi. Half of the song nominations have been waiting since 2015, some of those for 8 months. Yours waited less than 18 hours. He is still being, I think, very generous by saying that there are so many issues and ''still'' placing it on hold when most would fail it. &nbsp;—&nbsp;] 09:10, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2. With 56 contestants qualifying, each group in Round 2 contains seven contestants, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for Round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining contestants.

Our top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • United States L293D, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with ten good articles on submarines for a total of 357 points.
  • Adam Cuerden, a WikiCup veteran, came next with 274 points, mostly from eight featured pictures, restorations of artwork.
  • Denmark MPJ-DK, a wrestling enthusiast, was in third place with 263 points, garnered from a featured list, five good articles, two DYKs and four GARs.
  • United States Usernameunique came next at 243, with a featured article and a good article, both on ancient helmets.
  • Squeamish Ossifrage was in joint fifth place with 224 points, mostly garnered from bringing the 1937 Fox vault fire to featured article status.
  • Ohio Ed! was also on 224, with an amazing number of good article reviews (56 actually).

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews on 143 good articles, one hundred more than the number of good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Well done all!

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

WikiCup 2023 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were

  • New York (state) Epicgenius, with 2173 points topping the scores, gained mainly from a featured article, 38 good articles and 9 DYKs. He was followed by
  • Sammi Brie, with 1575 points, gained mainly from a featured article, 28 good articles and 50 good article reviews. Close behind was
  • Thebiguglyalien, with 1535 points mainly gained from a featured article, 15 good articles, 26 good article reviews and lots of bonus points.

Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and 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 and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages: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! Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.

I will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Misplaced Pages and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 (talk), and Cwmhiraeth (talk)

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards.
