WikiCup 2015 September newsletter

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

1. Cas Liber (submissions), who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
2. Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
3. Cwmhiraeth (submissions), first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany. Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
4. Harrias (submissions), second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
5. West Virginian (submissions), from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
6. Rodw (submissions), from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
7. Rationalobserver (submissions), from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
8. Calvin999 (submissions), also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Your reversion of my edits to "Carol (film)"

Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my edit(s) to the article Carol (film), with the reason "Indiewire and Deadline Hollywood are not publishers; Template:Cite_web#Publisher." Actually, neither Indiewire nor Deadline.com should have their names italicized, as neither is italicized in their home articles. See also Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Titles#Major works:

Website titles may or may not be italicized depending on the type of site and what kind of content it features. Online magazines, newspapers, and news sites with original content should generally be italicized (Salon.com or The Huffington Post). Online encyclopedias and dictionaries should also be italicized (Scholarpedia or Merriam-Webster Online). Other types of websites should be decided on a case-by-case basis.

(Emphasis added.) Additionally, I moved the portal template to the "See also" section, per Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Layout#Standard appendices and footers, as well as other minor corrections.

Would you please be so kind as to revert your reversion?—DocWatson42 (talk) 04:46, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi. DocWatson42, Deadline Hollywood, Indiewire, TheWrap would fall under "Online magazines, newspapers, and news sites with original content should generally be italicized". I reverted your good faith edits because (it's easier than manually fixing it and) none of those sites that report entertainment news and/or review films are publishers. Template:Cite_web#Publisher states, "The publisher is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the publisher parameter for the name of a work (e.g. a book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, website) ... Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work (for example, The New York Times Co. publishes The New York Times newspaper". (The Wrap News Inc is TheWrap's publisher). Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes aren't publishers either; CBS Interactive is the former's, Flixster is the latter's. "Periodical", "journal" "newspaper" "magazine" "work" and "website" parameters all render italicized text in the cite web template, and "website" is an alias of "work". I restored the rest of the fixes you made. Lapadite (talk) 05:00, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

I see you don't practice what you preach. It makes zero difference that a conversation has been started. If multiple people disagree with you and add that information, then you can't keep removing it without edit warring. Consider this an informal shoulder tap, but if you revert an addition again you will get a formal warning for edit warring. You do not own that article. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:19, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

You, who added the unencyclopedic info, disagree, while disregarding relevant WP:PAGs; another editor added it without knowing it was under discussion (his words: "Apologies, I was unaware of this discussion"). That is not multiple people. Yes, it absolutely makes a difference if an unencyclopedic edit is challenged and is under discussion on the talk page. Do take a look at WP:BRD, as well as Misplaced Pages:Consensus. Restoring an edit that had been reverted twice per policies and guidelines and is under discussion is disruptive, and edit warring, as you'd already been informed. I'll be taking the matter to the BLP noticeboard then since you have no interest in doing that. By the way, keep discussion on the article's talk page, don't take it to an editor's page.

Regarding your revert, those edits were made due to concerns raised by Erik in the cast section of the review (from his user page). Since it isn't clear why you reverted, please explain on the review page. Viriditas (talk) 02:25, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Wasn't aware of that, thanks. Lapadite (talk) 02:40, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Truth

When the soundtrack for Truth comes out, can a new section for the soundtrack be created on the article? Or just add to the production with the composer? :) I read the unexplained edit box comment thing you left :) Vmars22 (talk) 00:51, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

You can add the soundtrack release info in a relevant section (presently, that would be #Release), it just doesn't warrant its own section because there's no further information to write about; MOS:PARAGRAPHS → "Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading".

On another note, Vmars22, this edit is inappropriate; that info needs to be sourced in the article. The infobox, like the lead, summarizes key info that is sourced in the body of the article. You removed that sourced content, leaving those names listed in the infobox unsourced, so please restore it. The production designer can arguably be omitted since she does not have a WP article. Lapadite (talk) 01:23, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Will do! :) Also, quick question! Can the source for Stacey Keach be added to cast instead? :) Vmars22 (talk) 19:59, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

He can be sourced in the cast section, but the production section, alongside the other actors', would be better for consistency. Lapadite (talk) 20:29, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Copy Editing

Hai, this Indian film article Loham needs copy editing for grammer and writing style. Previously submitted for GA but failed due to language problem. See Talk:Loham. I invite you to help a hand on it.--Charles Turing (talk) 12:54, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Charles Turing, as was recommended in the GA review, you should put in a request at the Guild of Copy Editors. I am a participant, however I'm not able to perform a full copy edit at the present time. I would also second Cirt's suggestion of a Peer Review afterward. I will do a quick, basic copyedit to help speed the process along for others. Lapadite (talk)

Already submitted a request. And thank you for your reply. --Charles Turing (talk) 06:56, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Ariel Pink

Hey, on your last edit: lo-fi music is very much a critic-invoked and wikipedia-recognized genre—all of Pink's work before 4AD was repeatedly and explicitly categorized as such. Indie rock also seems relatively general and often-invoked. And Pink's had an eclectic career and sound, I'm not sure why 5 genres is too much in this contextUser:GentleCollapse16 (talk) 06:26, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

GentleCollapse16, yes but for the purposes of trimming down 6 genres in the infobox, the term Lo-fi only really speaks to the "quality of sound recording", it doesn't inform readers on the style of his music. Lo-fi is already cited in the article and, according to sources, it characterized his early recordings. Sources also described his music as lo-fi pop, and pop is already cited twice. In my search, Indie rock appears to be an outlier with sources; If you can cite at least two reliable sources calling his music indie rock then I guess it could be included. Per the musical artist template, listed genres should aim for generality and 4 or less is preferred. If you wish you can create Musical style section noting how reliable sources have described his music. Lapadite (talk) 06:54, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
