			I'm not a particularly appropriate person to approve the article at DYK, since my closeness to the subject means I'm reasonably likely to be editing it a lot – I meant my comment at DYK to be a general comment rether than a review. One thing I would say is that the proposed hooks aren't particularly engaging. Neither would prompt me to click through from the Main Page if it wasn't for the fact that I'm an avid fan of one of the teams involved. Not that I have too many alternative suggestions; matches that haven't happened yet don't really lend themselves interesting hooks. Record semi-final win? Perhaps too sport-specific for the general reader. Maybe there's some quirky fact that can be dug up about that hilariously incompetent penalty shootout. ] (]) 22:13, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Again, I apologise for doing that. I know how stupid it was

Im just asking for you to remove the UK flag from the Ireland national basketball team page and insted put up the Northern Ireland flag.

April 2008

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Carefree (chant), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, Misplaced Pages isn't censored, but we kind of draw the line at anything uncited, non-notable and defamatory. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

There's no standard about where to reply to talk page messages. Some people like to keep everything together; some people like always to post on the addressee's talk page so they get a 'You have new messages' warning. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Your "addition" amounted to putting up different lyrics, ostensibly sung in derision by that team's opponents. Besides what Philip Trueman already pointed out, Misplaced Pages is not a blog and it's not a soapbox either. The songs and responses sung back and forth, between opposite fans, can be practically infinite. -The Gnome (talk) 21:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Red shirt security

A tag has been placed on Red shirt security requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Blowdart | 07:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Greensleeves

I would be grateful if you could stop exchanging the word Myth for Legend. This entire text (using Myth) was agreed a while back when discussing and rewriting the whole aspect of Henry VIII and Greensleeves. As I said in my note, a Myth is a popular belief. A legend is an unverified story (handed down from earlier times). In this instance the use of the word legend is inappropriate because a) there is no story to be verified (Henry clearly did not write Greensleeves) and b) there is no evidence that gives longevity to story of Henry VII and Greensleeves. In other words, it's not a legend - it's a myth. And a complete one, at that. David T Tokyo (talk) 10:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

(your quote) I'm sorry but Experts have said can't prove Henry VIII didn't write it and since Henry VIII is the only name they have as the composers name and its been known by most people for 500 years that Henry VIII wrote it which is longdetivity.

Please provide me with the necessary references / evidence that show that

a) Experts have said "can't prove Henry VIII didn't write it"

b) Any Experts who have said that Henry VIII is the only name they have as a composers name

c) The story that Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves is at least 500 years old.

There are existing references on the Greensleeves page that give a completely opposite story. Obviously if you are able to provide new information it will be an important development for the page. I look forward to receiving them. David T Tokyo (talk) 11:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Greensleaves edit war

A look at the edit history of Greensleaves shows that you both have made three reverts to the article. Either stop or you you may be blocked for violation of Misplaced Pages:Three-revert rule. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 19:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

As per this request I looked to see which word would be a better fit. After reading through both legend and mythology, I think, that of the two, "myth" appears to be the better fit. However, I don't have any reference works, nor does there appear to be anything that would be classified as reliable on Google, about Greensleaves to indicate or source either one. There is a reference at the end of that section and it may be able to clear it up. Having said that, I really don't think that either word fits properly. I think that the word "belief" would be more correct in the sentence. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 22:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

As both of you agreed I made the change. Thanks. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 14:19, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Treason Felony Act 1848

Thank you for pointing out that the infobox did not say what the status of the above Act was. I have put it right.James500 (talk) 11:20, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Medieval Total War

Hello, your recent edits to Medieval: Total War seemed to revert the article to its inferior quality of several months ago. As with all potentially controversial edits such as these, an explanation as to why it was reverted should be made on the talk page and at least be mentioned in your edit summary. You may also want to look at WP:VGSCOPE, which points out inappropriate material in articles - such as the faction list that you re-added. In the meantime I have restored the article. Cheers QueenCake (talk) 20:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)#

Well, video game articles should not contain long lists of concepts, such as factions, the other Total War game articles that contain faction list have not been cleaned up yet. I also would not recommend creating an article devoted to factions and game play tips, wikipedia is not a guide, such an article would likely be quickly deleted. I would say to review Empire: Total War's talk page for the same discussion on why factions should not be included. Cheers QueenCake (talk) 18:32, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I've just remembered, an article about Medieval Total War's factions was in fact created - and quickly deleted - before.

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_factions_in_Medieval:_Total_War QueenCake (talk) 18:36, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, I doubt it will be possible to assert the notability of such an article and provide it with any sources. Faction lists don't really belong on wikipedia, a summary of factions in prose on the article page is easily sufficient. QueenCake (talk) 22:05, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

March 2009

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on FA Cup 2008–09. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Peanut4 (talk) 18:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Forget what Peanut4 says he is an idiot any way (and there are lots of idiots on wikipedia like him anyway). The FA site list the game to be played 17 March 2009. Arsenal-Hull. I also do not get way offical club site cant be usued as wald prove. DoctorHver (talk) 12:04, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Paul Smith (footballer born 1979)

I have removed the League Cup goal from the infobox as it was not scored in a LEAGUE game. There is no dispute as to the validity of the goal, which is fully described in the text. For reasons I won't go into here, mainly because they would take too long, it has long been established that only League appearances and goals should be noted in player infoboxes. Happy editing. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Your recent RfA

I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put, you only have 800 edits on Misplaced Pages; while your edit count isn't the only determining factor, and numerous people have their own personal standards by which they judge RfA candidates, this particular RfA was all but assured of not passing.

I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, I am confident that you would be able to submit a successful RfA in the future. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Misplaced Pages editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.

If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! –Juliancolton | 16:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

List of sporting venues with a highest attendance of 100,000 or more

Hi! I noticed you added a few sporting venues to List of sporting venues with a highest attendance of 100,000 or more. All three have been removed because I can't find references that they ever had an attendance of 100,000 or more people for a one day event. Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford's highest attendance are 82,905 and 76,962 respectively, so they both fall short. The only reference for Ascot Racecourse having over 100,000 spectators is for the entire event held there, not just a one day record. Do you have any information about the highest attendance for a one day event is at Ascot Racecourse? Thanks! Patken4 (talk) 19:53, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

That is the highest attendance for an event, not a sporting venue. For instance in 2008, Manchester United attracted an average of 75,691 for their 19 home PL matches. The highest attendance isn't 1,438,129. It's whatever the highest attendance for one match is. If the Royal Ascot is a five day event and over 300,000 attend it during the week, than an average of 60,000 are at the Ascot Racecourse at any given time. I have found some sources that back a 70,000 capacity up; this and this. The highest one day figure I can find is 73,175. Thanks! Patken4 (talk) 23:05, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

A few things

Hi! I see you added a table for stadiums under construction to the List of stadiums by capacity. I simply added a link to the already existing article at List of stadiums under construction.

In addition, I'm thinking of making a List of closed stadiums by capacity article and have it linked from the list of stadiums by capacity]]. That way, the list of stadiums by capacity can be for current stadiums. The new article would for any closed, former, unused, or demolished stadiums that had a capacity of 30,000 or more spectators at the time of it's closing. I think we have all stadiums that held 40,000 or more, and all the stadiums in Europe 30,000 or over. What do you think? Thanks! Patken4 (talk) 01:02, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

My reason for simply linking to the existing article was because of the length of the list. There are upwards of 450 current stadiums with 40,000 or more people. There are still quite a few racing venues that can be added to the list. Name the major race series and pretty much all it's tracks will be over 40,000 (especially if infield areas or hills are included). If future and past stadiums are also included, it will cimply be a huge article.

Great, I'll get started on the new article now. Thanks! Patken4 (talk) 20:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

A friendly pointer

Hi! When adding stadiums to lists such as List of stadiums by capacity, make sure that the stadium doesn't already exist under a different capacity in the list. A lot of times, stadium capacities change and a stadium may be listed under a different capacity. Thanks for all the work you've done on the lists! Patken4 (talk) 20:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Lords and stuff

Hi!

I saw a few changes you'd made to the Alan Sugar article and I thought it might be useful to point you towards this article: Territorial designation. It gives a good explanation of how to use a person's title as a lord - which I didn't understand at all until I read it! The way it works is that you get both a title and a territorial designation, but the two are separate things. Alan Sugar has been given a title, Baron Sugar, with a territorial designation, of Clapton in the London Borough of Hackney. You can use either just his title, or his title and territorial designation, but you have to use the territorial designation in full; so he can be called either Lord Sugar, or Lord Sugar, of Clapton in the London Borough of Hackney - but not Lord Sugar of Clapton. Another example would be Lord Mandelson, of Foy in the County of Herefordshire and of Hartlepool in the County of Durham, who can be just Lord Mandelson, or Lord Mandelson, of . Hope this makes sense - as I say, I had no idea how it worked until I read the explanation on there.

Have a good day!

List of covered stadiums by capacity

Hi! From what I can tell, the Crucible Theatre isn't a stadium, but rather an indoor arena. The difference between the two is that a stadium host sporting events that need a larger playing surface; such as all the forms of football, rugby, cricket, baseball, etc. Indoor arenas host sporting events that require a smaller playing surface; like ice hockey, basketball, volleyball, team handball, etc. Snooker uses an even smaller playing surface than the indoor arena sports. This is why I've deleted it from List of covered stadiums by capacity.

In addition, I took out the information about Wembley. Other stadiums also have every seat under cover while the playing surface isn't, so it isn't all that unique. A lot of the information is already included in the Wembley article. Thanks for all your hard work! Patken4 (talk) 21:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

List of stadium stands by capacity

I'll try to find the largest EPL stands and them to the list of those I can find. The problem I see is with adding stadiums from a worldwide perspective. I know in the US and Canada, stands aren't used. For instance, Lane Stadium and Kinnick Stadium would likely fit the criteria of the list as their stands are not connected. But I haven't found a source saying what each stand holds. Both stadiums hold over 60,000 people, with a comparatively smaller capacity in the end zone stands. I would estimate that the sideline stands hold over 20,000 each while the end zones are about 10,000 each. Thanks! Patken4 (talk) 21:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

List of heads of state and government by net worth

I added the full titles because not every title can be simplified so easily. There is no 'Prime Minister of Italy', the actual title is President of the Council of Ministers, not to be confused with the President of the Italian Republic. There is no 'King of Saudi Arabia", but The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques which is a title held as equivalent to a king. Sheikh Khalifa is the President of the whole U.A.E., but also hold the princely title of emir of one of the emirates, something that needs to be distinguished. It really does no harm to add the full titles, and adding them only gives better clarity to avoid colloquialisms and misunderstandings. I hope you would agree that adding the full titles does no harm, and is a more accurate description than the simplified equivalents given and would allow me to edit as such. XANDERLIPTAK 11:05, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

The Antilles and Aruba are autonomous regions but still part of the Kingdom of The Netherlands, much like Scotland and Wales within the United Kingdom. I like to keep the list of countries short because it draws undo attention to European monarchs who tended to make each new territory a kingdom and thus another title for themselves.

Re this article, I have just declined your protection request, I'm reposting my comments there here just in case the bot clears them away before you get to see them.

At this point, semi-protection wouldn't address the issue. If one editor embarks on an edit war, then they can be dealt with individually.

Wikipolice

Just covering for Addshore. Credit: Irismeister and Mr-Natural-Health.

Extended content
All kinds of human activities need regulation. In organized societies, this is performed by a specialized part of the body social. Ancient city-states had meritocratic regulators, usually respected elders in the community, like in gerousia. Modern states have various levels of police, from vigilente groups to para-military militias. Virtual communities have sysops and administrators. The Misplaced Pages Project has a network of editors, currently believed to act as "foxes and rabbits" in a natural, harmonious, even democratic meritocracy. Like all collaborative projects, Wiki suffers from the wear and tear of day-to-day progress, and some editors evolve in ways and means that become counterproductive to the original aims of the project taken as a whole. Real human societies, like the Athenian democracy, have a historical record of an equivalent phenomenon, known as hubris. This is a part of life, and as such, the problem has to be addressed well in advance of Wiki becoming a victim of Peloponnesian Wars, growing pains or even its own success. In order to address the problem, objective measures of editing performance are needed. Clearly, they exist already, or can be computed with little if any additional data mining work. File:LOTKA-VOLTERRA-3-D.jpg File:LOTKA-VOLTERRA.jpg Above are shown plots of classical Lotka-Volterra models describing population regulation in ecosystems with help from systems of differential equations. This is temptatively applied to subpopulations of Wiki editors as described below. Objective Measures In the "foxes and rabbits" model, an average Wiki editor is expected to act as a member of the "rabbit" class profile. Conversely, an average Wikipolice officer is expected to act like a fox. As the classical model for differential equations shows, the populations of rabbits and foxes, (with all other things being equal) self-regulate their numbers. Wiki editing, however, is still increasing according to a pyramidal model and it will grow as long as its base will keep growing. Only when the base will become stable, the pyramid will function in a steady state. This Wiki editing growth is maintained at a price: besides for ever new and fresh contributors, the time lost by "rabbits" in dealing with "foxes" is also increasing. This must stop if respect for volunteer contributors is still a leading force in Wiki ideals. Since anything can be viciously invoked as a Wikivirtue and put on display like a Pharisee's clothing in order to prevent productive editors from contributing to Wiki, proposals for bona fide (non-WikiPolice) editing activites include: "Wikicreative indices (WICI)" An average Wiki editor performs more edits than new articles. The ratio of general edits (addressing any article) to the specific edits (those restricted to the number of articles initiated by the editor) is a raw measure of that editor's creativity. The lower the WICI ratio, the higher the editor's creativity. The higher the WICI ratio, the higher becomes the likelihood of "savage" editing. Thresholds and watermarks can be defined empirically. In a way, the Wiki editor indulging in more "corrections" than "authoring", temptatively qualifies as a member of Wikipolice, fitting into the "fox" profile. The immediate objection for such measure is that good Samaritans, and people who are proofreaders at heart need not be called Wikipolice ("foxes"), although they are not creative enough to fit the "rabbit" profile. So, more refined measures are to be defined, to allow for good Samaritans and proofreaders into the Wiki community for they spare everybody's time. "Wikicitation index/indices in signatures (WCIS)" Editors who cannot enter into a decent discussion about the nuts and bolts of the subject they "attack" need not proceed into the article's namespace (let alone claim the "quality" of editors.) Therefore an average Wiki editor should produce a number of articles in a test period before being allowed to contribute. Wikicitation index/indices in signatures must measure such plain, full-blown articles. A minimum watermark of, say, one hundred Wiki articles (initiated and written as full essays, not stubs) may be a precondition for entering even the talk pages of new articles. Stubborn, vicious, ignorant or trolling "contributions" may thus be avoided. People displaying their WCIS are expected to contribute only in fields of knowledge in which they can make a difference. Indeed, the strong stimulus of a low WCIS should act each time they sign an edit and must be felt as such. If feasible technically, the WCIS measure can be refined in the general direction of the CI used by the ISI. "Complaints-and-arbitration requests-per-genuine-authoring (CAGA) ratio" Wikipolice are known to initiate a lot of arbitration procedures with impunity. Editors making a Wiki living out of cutting things they never care to read, let alone understand, will be asked to produce this CAGA index as a credential.

Extended content

All kinds of human activities need regulation. In organized societies, this is performed by a specialized part of the body social. Ancient city-states had meritocratic regulators, usually respected elders in the community, like in gerousia. Modern states have various levels of police, from vigilente groups to para-military militias. Virtual communities have sysops and administrators. The Misplaced Pages Project has a network of editors, currently believed to act as "foxes and rabbits" in a natural, harmonious, even democratic meritocracy.

Like all collaborative projects, Wiki suffers from the wear and tear of day-to-day progress, and some editors evolve in ways and means that become counterproductive to the original aims of the project taken as a whole. Real human societies, like the Athenian democracy, have a historical record of an equivalent phenomenon, known as hubris. This is a part of life, and as such, the problem has to be addressed well in advance of Wiki becoming a victim of Peloponnesian Wars, growing pains or even its own success. In order to address the problem, objective measures of editing performance are needed. Clearly, they exist already, or can be computed with little if any additional data mining work.

File:LOTKA-VOLTERRA-3-D.jpg File:LOTKA-VOLTERRA.jpg
Above are shown plots of classical Lotka-Volterra models describing population regulation in ecosystems with help from systems of differential equations. This is temptatively applied to subpopulations of Wiki editors as described below.

Objective Measures

In the "foxes and rabbits" model, an average Wiki editor is expected to act as a member of the "rabbit" class profile. Conversely, an average Wikipolice officer is expected to act like a fox. As the classical model for differential equations shows, the populations of rabbits and foxes, (with all other things being equal) self-regulate their numbers. Wiki editing, however, is still increasing according to a pyramidal model and it will grow as long as its base will keep growing. Only when the base will become stable, the pyramid will function in a steady state. This Wiki editing growth is maintained at a price: besides for ever new and fresh contributors, the time lost by "rabbits" in dealing with "foxes" is also increasing. This must stop if respect for volunteer contributors is still a leading force in Wiki ideals.

Since anything can be viciously invoked as a Wikivirtue and put on display like a Pharisee's clothing in order to prevent productive editors from contributing to Wiki, proposals for bona fide (non-WikiPolice) editing activites include:

"Wikicreative indices (WICI)"

An average Wiki editor performs more edits than new articles. The ratio of general edits (addressing any article) to the specific edits (those restricted to the number of articles initiated by the editor) is a raw measure of that editor's creativity. The lower the WICI ratio, the higher the editor's creativity. The higher the WICI ratio, the higher becomes the likelihood of "savage" editing. Thresholds and watermarks can be defined empirically. In a way, the Wiki editor indulging in more "corrections" than "authoring", temptatively qualifies as a member of Wikipolice, fitting into the "fox" profile. The immediate objection for such measure is that good Samaritans, and people who are proofreaders at heart need not be called Wikipolice ("foxes"), although they are not creative enough to fit the "rabbit" profile. So, more refined measures are to be defined, to allow for good Samaritans and proofreaders into the Wiki community for they spare everybody's time.

"Wikicitation index/indices in signatures (WCIS)"

Editors who cannot enter into a decent discussion about the nuts and bolts of the subject they "attack" need not proceed into the article's namespace (let alone claim the "quality" of editors.) Therefore an average Wiki editor should produce a number of articles in a test period before being allowed to contribute. Wikicitation index/indices in signatures must measure such plain, full-blown articles. A minimum watermark of, say, one hundred Wiki articles (initiated and written as full essays, not stubs) may be a precondition for entering even the talk pages of new articles. Stubborn, vicious, ignorant or trolling "contributions" may thus be avoided. People displaying their WCIS are expected to contribute only in fields of knowledge in which they can make a difference. Indeed, the strong stimulus of a low WCIS should act each time they sign an edit and must be felt as such. If feasible technically, the WCIS measure can be refined in the general direction of the CI used by the ISI.

"Complaints-and-arbitration requests-per-genuine-authoring (CAGA) ratio"

Wikipolice are known to initiate a lot of arbitration procedures with impunity. Editors making a Wiki living out of cutting things they never care to read, let alone understand, will be asked to produce this CAGA index as a credential.

"Authoring-signal-to-noise-ratio (ASNR)"

Perhaps such extended objective Wikidocimology and Wikimediametry measures can help Wiki volunteers lose less time in non-productive and counter-productive activities. They are useful in arbitrations, for they tend to ban a troll and a productive Wiki editor who insists in bona fide editing but is resented by admins and sysops and Wikipolice alike.

Who is the police for Wikipolice?

Nobody. That's the single most important aspect of Wikipolice - it regulates everything except itself. If measures defined in order to restrict Wikipolice activity are not taken, the classical and academical dilemma quies custodiet ipsos custodes (who polices the police) will become a real problem: Clearly, Wiki will become a Police state as it already punishes Thoughtcrimes, considers editors not equal among themselves, considers bans, censorship, blatant libel and lies as diversions and as lawful ways and means to achieve hidden agendas. Wikipolice reinforces disinformation, and takes huge amounts of everybody's time (volunteer contributors, Wikipolice and readers) only to maintain disharmonious, if indeed intense overall growth.

Losing time in Wikipolice

In an ideal virtual community, editors would be driven only by genuine, idealistic, volunteering interests. Sadly, in less than ideal communities, including Misplaced Pages, contributions are made for a variety of reasons, from vanity and Wikiaddiction to hidden agendas and less-than-non-assuming, downright heavy-handed brutality.

Who are the Wikipolice?

One might ask, who are the Wikipolice? It seems that some editors have more rights than other editors on Misplaced Pages. The Wikipolice, thus, must be marked as such, using the objective measures of Wikipolice activity.

Proposed practical measures

systematic inclusion of "Wikicreative indices" (WICI) on each editor's personal page;
automatic addition of the "Wikipolice tag", when attributed by computed stats to personal signatures;
real-time measures of the "Wikicreative index".

Expected results

Experience has shown that in six-months immersive assignments, editors of medical articles lost as much as 90% of their Wiki logging time answering questions. Ranging from trivial to bizarre and clear trolling activity, such loss of time would be immediately prevented: Assuming a Gaussian distribution, questions and problems raised by trolls with a "Wikicreative index" way below two sigmas need not even be answered.

Articles for deletion nomination of List of pheonix clubs

I have nominated List of pheonix clubs, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of pheonix clubs. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Big Dom 18:59, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

It's not really the name of the list that is the problem, it's the fact that it is complete original research and can never be completed, especially going off your definition that a club that has been formed as a protest is included. Can you please explain to me how F.C. United are a "phoenix club" when they clearly have not "risen from the ashes" from any previous team. As far as I'm aware, Manchester United are still doing pretty well for themselves. -- Big Dom 19:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I don't see how a list of protest and reborn clubs would be helpful, seeing as they are two entirely different concepts. Anyway, we'll just have to see what other editors think over the next seven days now. Cheers -- Big Dom 19:14, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of revival clubs

A tag has been placed on List of revival clubs requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

AfD nomination of List of revival clubs

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of revival clubs. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Misplaced Pages:Notability and "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of revival clubs. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Sealand

Thanks for that. As I have said, I will revert anyone who reverts that without consensus.Mk5384 (talk) 19:21, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
One thing; we have Prince Roy I listed as both head of state, and head of government for Sealand. However, the other entries seperate the title and the person. For example: The United States of America, President Barack Obama. For "President" it has the list of presidents of the United States. Then for "Barack Obama" it has President Obama's article. Should we split the two, having an entry for the history of Sealand's government to go with "Prince", and then have the article for Mr. Bates to go with Roy I? Even though Prince Roy I has been the only leader of Sealand, it has been contested, and there is currently a "government in exile", as absurd as that sounds. I feel that this would add to the legitimacy of our including Sealand in the list. What are your thoughts? All the best-Mk5384 (talk) 19:20, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Here's what I was trying to say. Take, for example, Transnistria. It's leader is President Igor Smirnov. The way the list has it, "President" goes to the article "President of Transnistria", whilst "Igor Smirnov" goes to the article about President Smirnov. Under Sealand, should "Prince" go to an article about "Prince of Sealand", whilst "Roy I" goes to an article about Mr. Bates? All the best-Mk5384 (talk) 01:32, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

mk5384

Thank you for your responses. Unfortunately, I am in the middle of several important matters at the time, and may need to take a couple of weeks off from Misplaced Pages. Sealand is indeed soverign,. As I have pointed out, an English court has ruled that it has no jurisdiction over it. Once I have worked out a couple of personal issues, I will return to Misplaced Pages. Hopefully, you and I can work together to improve the article some more. All the best-Mk5384 (talk) 20:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Even though I am taking a break, I am still peeking in from time to time. They reverted Sealand twice, and I have undone it both times. I went on the talk page, and clarified exactly why it does belong, and insisted that if anyone else reverts it, that they post a valid reason for doing so on the talk page. So far, so good, as it has now remained for almost 3 days. We'll see. And by the way, if someone does revert it, and you feel so inclined, go right ahead and undo it. It will not be in violation of any policy unless you were to do it ad infinitum. We have both discussed it at length, and given solid reasons on the talk page. They have reverted without even commenting on the talk page. I am certainly loathe to have an edit war with anyone, as that does nothing to help this encyclopedia. However, we have stated our case clearly, and have supported it with reliable sources. The burden of proof is now on them.Mk5384 (talk) 01:00, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Done. It's self evident how it works. Remember, it's ONLY for vandalism; if you're not sure, don't use it! It can only be used on the most recent edits on a page, and it will roll back all of that user/IP's edits until it finds someone else's: i.e. last five edits are by an IP and ALL are vandalism, you can rollback ALL of them (and only all of them, no selection). Let me know if you've any queries! Ged UK 20:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Sealand

I just got your note on my talk page, and yes, I will do everything I can to help with that. My schedule is almost unbelieveable right now, so I don't have the time to look into it this very moment. I will, however, check it out soon, and get back to you. Thank's for the note. All the best.Mk5384 (talk) 03:18, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I've checked out, and it is amazing. The editor who removed it has stated that the talk page is "a conversation between two users", whilst himself choosing to unilateraly remove something that other editors have let stand for over a month. It was removed; we made our case; they seemed to agree. Now one editor has decided it dosen't belong? Bollocks! Also, the comments about a "juvenile nonsense joke", and "this absurdity", in lieu of AGF'ing do not sit well with me. I will happily put it back, and post some more facts substantiating it on the talk page whilst I'm at it. Here is the problem: I need your help again. Whilst I am constantly endevouring to learn, I still have next to no skills whatsoever on the computer. I now understand how to add it in there. I just can't seem to figure how to insert it alphetabetically without disrupting the others. If you could kindly leave me a brief note of explanation, I would much appreciate it. After I restore it, I will also ask for the opinions of other editors to see where everyone else stands in reference to Sealand. The others seem to be OK with it now, but we'll see. All the best!Mk5384 (talk) 05:19, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I have added it once more, but I'm afraid that's about as far as I'm prepared to go with this. I have added more comments to the talk page, explaining the case for inclusion, whilst attempting to rebut the comments of the editor who removed it. If something such as Somaliland belongs, Sealand absolutely belongs. However, I'm not about to have any edit wars, and I just don't have the time at this point to keep fighting for it. It will probably be removed again, and if it is, know that we gave it a good shot, and maybe we can get back to it at some point. All the bestMk5384 (talk) 10:04, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

No worries. Oh yeah, I like your userbox, I am not sure if u r serious about it, but I appreciate the black humour. XD Da Vynci (talk) 19:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

In that case, u do aware that every wish comes with a price, right? In the real world, the leaders in PR China in 80s were (and still are) all ready to roll over HK with tanks and cut off their water and food supplies, plus UK's lack of commitment to defend HK, that's why u guys signed that agreement to sell HK out. In order for your wish to be fulfilled, UK has to back out from that international treaty she signed with China in the 80s, deal with the subsequent hostility from the Communists alliance, suppress China through diplomatic, economic and very likely military means. After this, reach a new agreement with China (if that ever happens), then a large number of troops will need to station in HK to prevent invasion and civil unrest. Seeing how UK struggled to send troops to suppress opposition force in third world countries like Afghanistan, what is the price to suppress a nuclear states like China? So the question is, are people in UK willing to pay such cost? Da Vynci (talk) 20:14, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer permission

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.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:58, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Userfied to User:The_C_of_E/List of sponsored sports competitions. I don't envy your task of trying to dodge that AfD verdict though, I must say. - Jarry1250 21:40, 8 August 2010 (UTC)Signature and archivingHi there! Don't worry, this isn't a comment about what your sig actually says, but I noticed on your request at RfPP that I actioned that your sig has a chunk of spaces in it for some reason. The raw text is ] (]), but it doesn't actually display the spaces, but you can see it in the edit box. Not a big deal, thought I'd point it out. Second point is you really, really need to archive your talk page! It's getting rather long now, and older, slower computers might struggle to load it all in a reasonable time. Miszabot archives mine, and is very useful and flexible. User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo has a useful guide on how to set it up. You can, of course, do it manually. Hope you don't mind me suggesting this. Cheers! GedUK 13:33, 25 August 2010 (UTC)Oh yes, sorry. I was meaning to change that but I have a tendency to get distracted and relativly minor things like this rarely get done. But I hope I've changed it your satisfaction. Now as for the archive thing, I'm not too keen on it mainly because I don't really know what bots do (apart from the bot that does reflinks, a wonderful tool!) and I don't quite trust an automated programme doing something that would be done better by a human on something that can be quite integral to remembering past issues. As for archiving it, I much prefer to have this all in one place rather than split up. So thanks but no thanks for the offer. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 14:03, 25 August 2010 (UTC) No need to apologise, the sig issue was a bit of a thing that got my curiosity going more than anything. Re the archiving, it's your page of course, but all the bot does is check whether there's been no reply to a section in x days/mins (you define) and then moves it to your archive folder (which you can define). I'm not going to lose sleep over it, just thought I'd mention it in case you weren't sure how to go about requesting the bot. :o) GedUK 14:17, 25 August 2010 (UTC)List of European stadiums by capacityHi C of E, can you do me a favour and please not edit the above article or its talk page for the next hour or so.

GFDB.COM is a web scrape from Misplaced Pages i.e. the bulk of their content is collected by a 'bot which reads the Misplaced Pages site and redisplays it on theirs. Simply by adding something to Misplaced Pages, it will appear on their site next time it is "scraped". Therefore GFDB is not a valid site to use as a reference as it basically is referencing itself. Misplaced Pages fails WP:RS, therefore all sites that scrape it fail WP:RS too.--ClubOranje 10:15, 22 September 2010 (UTC)Talkback

O Fenian's motives are somewhat obvious since he has consistently edited articles in favour of Republican terrorists.

Thanks! --78.101.108.174 (talk) 19:59, 8 October 2010 (UTC) Thanks for your message. I wonder if you could remove 'Nicole' from inbetween Ms Merry's first name and surname? She and the character 'Nicole' played a decade or more earlier by another woman in a different ad campaign are wholly unrelated. If you could take this on trust that would be good though, if I am wrong (which I am not), then it can be reverted - with a citation. --78.101.108.174 (talk) 20:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC) Good work, but incomplete, and that is my fault.

The nearest I see asks "For which UK countries/geographies do you need this information?" and of course doesn't mention Republic of Ireland in that context, so it didn't seem to match what you had described in your post where you said "... on the form you do have to say which country you come from whether it's England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland or other.". I have now seen the census form itself (and specifically question 9), so perhaps you were referring to that, rather than to the "Consultation questionnaire on ethnic group, national identity, religion and language ..." to which you had provided the link? - David Biddulph (talk) 22:13, 9 March 2011 (UTC)DYK for Follow On (hymn)Hello!

Speedy deletion nomination of Vic Flowers

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article. You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.A tag has been placed on Vic Flowers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. LongLiveMusic (talk) 02:32, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Talkback

WikiCup 2013 January newsletterSignups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ( Grapple X (submissions)) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. 12george1 (submissions) was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a detailed good article review. Some other firsts:12george1 (submissions) was also the first to score for an article, with the good article Hurricane Gordon (2000). Again, this is a repeat of last year! Buggie111 (submissions) was the first to score for a did you know, with Marquis Flowers. Spencer (submissions) was the first to score for an in the news, with 2013 Houphouët-Boigny stampede. Status (submissions) was the first to score for a featured list, with list of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists. Adam Cuerden (submissions) was the first to score for a featured picture, with File:Thure de Thulstrup - L. Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg.Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition. This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:Ed! (submissions) was the first to score bonus points, with Portland-class cruiser, a good article. Hawkeye7 (submissions) has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on Enrico Fermi, now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score. HueSatLum (submissions) claimed bonus points for René Vautier and Nicolas de Fer, articles that did not exist on the English Misplaced Pages at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of other Wikipedias.Also, a quick mention of The C of E (submissions), who may well have already written the oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?

You are at 51 and counting :-) — AARON • 13:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)WikiCup 2013 February newsletterRound 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below. Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs. Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points. Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.Other contributors of note include:Sven Manguard (submissions), whose Portal:Massachusetts is the first featured portal this year. The featured portal process is one of the less well-known featured processes, and featured portals have traditionally had little impact on WikiCup scores. Sasata (submissions), whose Mycena aurantiomarginata was the first featured article this year. Muboshgu (submissions) and Wizardman (submissions), who both claimed points for articles in the Major League Baseball tie-breakers topic, the first topic points in the competition. Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), who claimed for the first full good topic with the Casting Crowns studio albums topic.Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles... March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome! A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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.

Simply south...... catching SNOWballs for just 6 years 19:13, 2 March 2013 (UTC)I don't believe we've met, but...I was just patrolling Wikidata recent changes on #cvn-wikidata , and the bot that updates it listed you as "blacklisted". Upon investigation, it apears you were given a 2-month block on the Lithuanian Misplaced Pages a few hours ago. I can't read (or Google Translate) the reason given, but I find it hard to believe that a trusted EnWikipedian could do something to deserve that on another project with only 2 edits (both of which appear to have been deleted), so I thought you might want a heads-up. — PinkAmpers& 22:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)Mid Ulster by-electionRegarding your reason for removal - "brevity is not a good reason for doing that. This is an encyclopedia intended to be comprehensive and that includes the title" - this makes no sense to me at all. The pertinent facts for that section are this: When he said he would resign. Why he said he would resign. When he actually resigned, and why. The information I removed is dealt with elsewhere as you would expect. It does not need to be duplicated in that article for Misplaced Pages to be considered comprehensive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gruesome Foursome (talk • contribs) 20:08, 5 March 2013 (UTC)DYK for Guernsey RFC

Royal Tun Wells nomHi – I will start reviewing your 5-part nom shortly. Bear with me, as I will have to look at it on-and-off over the next few days. If I have any questions, I'll put them here as well as at the nom page. PS Thanks for using my pic on the King Charles the Martyr article! I have a few other angles, but don't think I've uploaded them yet; maybe I should make a Commons category for them and link to the article. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:18, 6 March 2013 (UTC)OK, it turned out to be a few hours rather than a few days! I have now marked all 5 as verified. Nice work on a town I am very interested in. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 19:36, 6 March 2013 (UTC) Yes, multi-noms tend to get overlooked (as you say, they look like hard work!), which is a shame because they are usually pretty interesting, especially when they cover a variety of topics as this one does. I have an eight-article hook planned (for churches in Eastbourne, incidentally), but haven't yet psyched myself up to finish writing them and submitting the hook! I actually discovered your nom when you linked KCTM to Places of worship in Tunbridge Wells (borough), one of my articles from last year. Ideally every notable church would have its own article, but that's a very long-term goal! Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:36, 6 March 2013 (UTC)Cod. 888 (GA)Yes, I lost one word in section "Text".

Pool A sees the strongest competition, with five out of eight of its competitors scoring over 100, and Pool H is lagging, with half of its competitors yet to score. WikiCup veterans lead overall; Pool A's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) (2010's winner) leads overall, with poolmate Miyagawa (submissions) (a finalist in 2011 and 2012) not far behind. Pool F's Casliber (submissions) (a finalist in 2010, 2011 and 2012) is in third. The top two scorers in each pool, as well as the next highest 16 scorers overall, will progress to round three at the end of April. Today has seen a number of Easter-themed did you knows from WikiCup participants, and March has seen collaboration from contestants with WikiWomen's History Month. It's great to see the WikiCup being used as a locus of collaboration; if you know of any collaborative efforts going on, or want to start anything up, please feel free to use the WikiCup talk page to help find interested editors. As well as fostering collaboration, we're also seeing the Cup encouraging the improvement of high-importance articles through the bonus point system. Highlights from the last month include GAs on physicist Niels Bohr ( Hawkeye7 (submissions)), on the European hare ( Cwmhiraeth (submissions)), on the constellation Circinus ( Keilana (submissions) and Casliber (submissions)) and on the Third Epistle of John ( Cerebellum (submissions)). All of these subjects were covered on at least 50 Wikipedias at the beginning of the year and, subsequently, each contribution was awarded at least three times as many points as normal. Wikipedians who enjoy friendly competition may be interested in participating in April's wikification drive. While wikifying an article is typically not considered "significant work" such that it can be claimed for WikiCup points, such gnomish work is often invaluable in keeping articles in shape, and is typically very helpful for new writers who may not be familiar with formatting norms. A quick reminder: now, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2013 April newsletterWe are a week into Round 3, but it is off to a flying start, with Sven Manguard (submissions) claiming for the high-importance Portal:Sports and Portal:Geography (which are the first portals ever awarded bonus points in the WikiCup) and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) claiming for a did you know of sea, the highest scoring individual did you know article ever submitted for the WikiCup. Round 2 saw very impressive scores at close; first place Casliber (submissions) and second place Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) both scored over 1000 points; a feat not seen in Round 2 since 2010. This, in part, has been made possible by the change in the bonus points rules, but is also testament to the quality of the competition this year. Pool C and Pool G were most competitive, with three quarters of participants making it to Round 3, while Pool D was the least, with only the top two scorers making it through. The lowest qualifying score was 123, significantly higher than last year's 65, 2011's 41 or even 2010's 100. The next issue of The Signpost is due to include a brief update on the current WikiCup, comparing it to previous years' competitions. This may be of interest to current WikiCup followers, and may help bring some more new faces into the community. We would also like to note that this round includes an extra competitor to the 32 advertised, who has been added to a random pool. This extra inclusion seems to have been the fairest way to deal with a small mistake made before the beginning of this round, but should not affect the competition in a large way. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to contact one of the judges. A rules clarification: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on 29/30 April, which may be claimed in this round. 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. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Re:MultipliersUnless I'm mistaken, the articles were not eligible for bonus points. Bonus points are awarded based on how many different Wikipedias covered the subject at the start of the year (that is, as of 31 December 2012).

Bideforddevon (talk) 18:02, 26 June 2013 (UTC)WikiCup 2013 June newsletterWe are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project. Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, Casliber (submissions) and Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus. A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. 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.

Please see the proposal on its subpage here, or on the main DYK talk page. To add the discussion to your watchlist, click this link. Regards, Gilderien Chat|What I've done22:58, 28 July 2013 (UTC)WikiCup 2013 July newsletterWe're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's Sasata (submissions) currently leads overall, while Pool B's Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today, Miyagawa (submissions), with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and Cwmhiraeth (submissions) have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA koala earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA sea earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the Norman conquest of England by Ealdgyth (submissions), and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature Henryk Sienkiewicz, Nobel laureate in physics Hans Bethe, and the noted Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū. These articles are by Piotrus (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions) and Sturmvogel_66 respectively. Other than that, there is not much to report!

Our final eight, in order of last round's score, are:Hawkeye7 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer who has contributed on topics of military history and physics, including a number of high-importance topics. Good articles have made up the bulk of his points, but he has also scored a great deal of bonus points. He has the second highest score overall so far, with more than 3000 points accumulated. Casliber (submissions), another WikiCup veteran who reached the finals in 2012, 2011 and 2010. He writes on a variety of topics including botany, mycology and astronomy, and has claimed the highest or joint highest number of featured articles every round so far this year. He has the third highest score overall, with just under 3000 points accumulated. Cwmhiraeth (submissions), 2012 WikiCup champion, who writes mostly on marine biology. She has also contributed to high-importance topics, seeing huge numbers of bonus points for high-importance featured and good articles. Previous rounds have seen her scoring the most bonus points, with scoring spread across did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Sasata (submissions), a WikiCup veteran who finished in second place in 2012, and competed as early as 2009. He writes articles on biology, especially mycology, and has scored highly for a number of collaborations at featured article candidates. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), the winner of the 2010 competition. His contributions mostly concern Naval history, and he has scored a very large number of points for good articles and good article reviews in every round. He is the highest scorer overall this year, with over 3500 points in total. Ealdgyth (submissions), who is competing in the WikiCup for the second time, though this will be her first time in the final. A regular at FAC, she is mostly interested in British medieval history, and has scored very highly for some top-importance featured articles on the topic. Miyagawa (submissions), a finalist in 2012 and 2011. He writes on a broad variety of topics, with many of this year's points coming from good articles about Star Trek. Good articles make up the bulk of his points, and he had the most good articles back in round 2; he was also the highest scorer for DYK in rounds 1 and 2. Adam Cuerden (submissions) has previously been involved with the WikiCup, but hasn't participated for a number of years. He scores mostly from restoration work leading to featured picture credits, but has also done some article writing and reviewing.We say goodbye to eight great participants who did not qualify for the final: Piotrus (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), Dana boomer (submissions), Status (submissions), Ed! (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), Calvin999 (submissions). Having made it to this stage is still an excellent achievement, and you can leave with your heads held high. We hope to see you all again next year. Signups are now open for the 2014 WikiCup, which will begin on 1 January. All Wikipedians, whatever their interest or level of experience, are warmly invited to participate in next year's competition. This last month has seen some incredible contributions; for instance, Cwmhiraeth's Starfish and Ealdgyth's Battle of Hastings—two highly important, highly viewed pages—made it to featured article status. It would be all too easy to focus solely on these stunning achievements at the expense of those participants working in lower-scoring areas, when in fact all WikiCup participants are doing excellent work. A mention of everything done is impossible, but here are a few: Last round saw the completion of several good topics (on the 1958, 1959 and 1962 Atlantic hurricane seasons) to which 12george1 had contributed. Calvin999 saw "S&M" (song), on which he has been working for several years, through to featured article status on its tenth try. Figureskatingfan continued towards her goal of a broad featured/good topic on Maya Angelou, with two featured and four good articles. ThaddeusB contributed significantly to over 20 articles which appeared on the main page's "in the news" section. Adam Cuerden continued to restore a large number of historical images, resulting in over a dozen FP credits this round alone. The WikiCup is not just about top-importance featured articles, and the work of all of these users is worthy of commendation.

To quote WP:ERA 'Do not change the established era style in an article unless there are reasons specific to its content. Seek consensus on the talk page before making the change. Open the discussion under a subhead that uses the word "era". Briefly state why the style is inappropriate for the article in question. A personal or categorical preference for one era style over the other is not justification for making a change.' Perhaps I have misunderstood.

We try to build a family of categories where articles are filed under the appropriate subcategory and then the subcategories under the parent category. An article is typically not assigned to both the subcategory and the parent category, which is what is happening with You're Gonna Get Your Fucking Head Kicked In. Liz 18:00, 21 September 2013 (UTC)WikiCup 2013 September newsletterIn 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Sasata (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and Casliber (submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata). The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of?

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!Hello The C of E, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Cheers --Bcp67 (talk) 10:20, 2 January 2014 (UTC)"We Three Kings"Quick question on {{Did you know nominations/We Three Kings}} — would you mind a revised hook of that the carol "We Three Kings" (Magi pictured) was written in 1857?

Re:Wikicup bot errorI'm not going to override the bot in this case. While the article did appear on five Wikipedias at the start of the year, the Old English article was deleted because it wasn't in Old English and the notability was questionable. I'm also not convinced that your Scots is up to scratch. I'm really not keen on artificially boosting the number of interwiki links- the whole point is that this is a measure of importance. J Milburn (talk) 20:46, 9 January 2014 (UTC)I don't know- I'm not familiar with the practices on the Scots Misplaced Pages, nor do I speak Scots. J Milburn (talk) 20:58, 9 January 2014 (UTC)After a chat with the other judges, I have removed the other bonus points you had, as all five of the articles on other Wikipedias were created by you, and little touched (if at all) afterwards. Whether you're creating the articles on other Wikipedias in order to game the system or whether you just want to see the topic well-covered, this approach seems to undermine the fact that we're trying to use the interwiki links as a gauge of importance, not as something valuable in their own right. J Milburn (talk) 11:23, 10 January 2014 (UTC)The rules are clear that "the judges reserve the right to adjudicate in the spirit of the rules, rather than to their letter". Interwiki links are our fast-and-dirty judge of importance. Equally, if we used views as our yardstick, we wouldn't be keen on people spamming links everywhere, or using scripts to insert thousands of page views. If we used the vital lists, we wouldn't be keen on seeing WikiCup participants descend onto the talk page to try to push their articles onto the lists. We haven't taken the time to list every way that the rules could be circumvented. This has only cost you 6 points- you'll still no problem getting through to the second round. J Milburn (talk) 11:40, 10 January 2014 (UTC)I've removed the bonus points for Soldiers of Christ, Arise as all the interwikis are from this year (regardless of who created them). This is something of a bot error, so I've let Jarry1250 know about it, but I thought it polite to let you know too. J Milburn (talk) 19:49, 15 January 2014 (UTC)DYK for Fermanagh Mallards F.C.

Yoninah (talk) 01:20, 24 January 2014 (UTC)2014 Football League Cup FinalI'm not a particularly appropriate person to approve the article at DYK, since my closeness to the subject means I'm reasonably likely to be editing it a lot – I meant my comment at DYK to be a general comment rether than a review. One thing I would say is that the proposed hooks aren't particularly engaging. Neither would prompt me to click through from the Main Page if it wasn't for the fact that I'm an avid fan of one of the teams involved. Not that I have too many alternative suggestions; matches that haven't happened yet don't really lend themselves interesting hooks. Record semi-final win? Perhaps too sport-specific for the general reader. Maybe there's some quirky fact that can be dug up about that hilariously incompetent penalty shootout.
