DYK for List of Star Trek: Enterprise cast members
Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:17, 28 July 2015 (UTC)2015 GA Cup - Round 2
Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. The Rambling Man, who was eliminated during the first round in our last competition, earned an impressive 513 points, reviewed twice as many articles (26) as any other competitor. It was a tight race for second for first-time competitors BenLinus1214 and Tomandjerry211, who finished second and third with 243 and 224 points, respectively. Close behind was Wugapodes, who earned 205 points. The change in our points system had an impact on scoring. It was easier to earn higher points, although the key to success didn't change from last time, which was choosing articles with older nomination dates. For example, most of the articles The Rambling Man reviewed were worth 18 points in the nomination date category, and he benefited from it. BenLinus1214 reviewed the longest article, A Simple Plan (at 26,536 characters, or 4,477 words), the 1994 film starring Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda and directed by Sam Raimi, and earned all possible 5 points in that category. After feedback from our participants, the judges slightly changed the rule about review length this time out. Shorter reviews are now allowed, as long as reviewers give nominators an opportunity to address their feedback. Shorter reviews are subject to the judges' discretion; the judges will continue their diligence as we continue the competition. Despite having fewer contestants at the beginning of Round 1 than last time, 132 articles were reviewed, far more than the 117 articles that were reviewed in Round 1 of the inaugural GA Cup. All of us involved should be very proud of what we've accomplished thus far. The judges are certain that Round 2 will be just as successful. 16 contestants have moved onto Round 2 and have been randomly placed in 4 groups of 4, with the top 2 in each pool progressing to Round 3, as well as the top participant ("9th place") of all remaining competitors. Round 2 has already begun and will end on August 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here. Good luck and remember to have fun! Cheers from Dom497, Figureskatingfan, 3family6 and Jaguar, and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

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:
- 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.
- Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

The top 2 from 4 pools, plus the top participant (the wildcard, or "9th place") of all remaining competitors, moved onto Round 3. We had one withdrawal early in Round 2, so he was replaced by the next-highest scorer from Round 1. Round 2's highest scorer was Pool D's Tomandjerry211, who earned an impressive 366 points; he also reviewed the most articles (19). Close behind was Zwerg Nase, also in Pool D, at 297 points and 16 articles. The wildcard slot went to Good888. Congrats to all! Round 3 will have 9 competitors in 3 pools. The key to moving forward was reviewing articles with the longest nomination dates, as it has been in every round up to now. For example, 2 competitors only needed to review 2 articles each to win in their pools, and each article were either from the pink nomination box (20 points) or had languished in the queue for over 5 months (18 points). The GA Cup continues to be a success in many ways, even with fewer competitors this time. For some reason, the competitors in the 2015 GA Cup have reviewed fewer articles in Round 2, which has made the judges scratch their head in confusion. We've speculated many reasons for that: the summer months and vacations, our competitors are saving their strength for the final rounds, or they all live in the Pacific Northwest and the heavy wildfire smoke has affected their thinking. Whatever the reason, Round 2 competitors reviewed almost 100 articles, which is a significant impact in the task of reviewing articles for GA status. We've considered that the lower participation this competition is due to timing, so we intend to discuss the best time frame for future GA Cups. For Round 3, participants have been placed randomly in 3 pools of 3 contestants each; the top editor in each pool will progress, as well as the top 2 of all remaining users. Round 3 will start on September 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on September 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 3 and the pools can be found here. Good luck to the remaining contestants, and have fun! Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6 and Jaguar, and MrWooHoo.

Bot getting buggy?
Hi Miyagawa-
The while my score is accurate, the log shows one of my submissions File:FIN-A36b-Finlands Bank-20 Markkaa (1862).jpg listed eight times... Separately, should I go into the log and add ":" to new image files so one doesn't actually see the image? (Unless it is a judges-only editing space). It seems that someone has been doing that.--Godot13 (talk) 00:27, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- We're fiddling with how DYKs and FPs display on the cup log (mostly to eliminate the full size images). We'll get there, but I wouldn't worry about it. Miyagawa (talk) 22:14, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
Wikicup 2016
Hello Miyagawa! I was one of the people who got elimininated in Round 2 because I forgot to tell you about the major edit I made on Bitcoin.I just wanted to ask a simple question: Can I start the page for the 2016 Wikicup signups when the competition is over? Because I feel like helping the community/judges. Let me know by please pining me as I probably won't check if I am not pinged. Thanks! Yoshi24517Chat Online 23:41, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Yoshi24517: Signups will generally begin in early December - there will be a message sent out to everyone on the WikiCup talk page mailing list, so if you've already signed up there then you'll get it. Miyagawa (talk) 09:17, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

2nd Annual GA Cup - Round 4
GA Cup competitors and observers: Happy Fall! Get ready, we're about to move into the finals of the second-ever GA Cup! Monday saw the end of Round 3. Out of the 8 contestants in the semi-finals, 5 have moved to the finals. The semi-finals were competitive. Our semi-finalists reviewed a total of 61 articles, or a grand total of 1,151 points. If you were to lump the top winners from each of the three pools together, it'd be a close horse race; they were within 35 points of each other, which can only mean that the finals will be an exciting race. Tomandjerry211, our top scorer in Round 2, again earned the most points in the semi-finals, with 288 points and 16 articles reviewed. Johanna came in second overall, with 251 points and 13 articles reviewed; Sturmvogel 66 came in third overall, with 221 points and 16 articles. Rounding out our wildcard slots are Zwerg Nase and The Rambling Man. These contestants were very strategic in how they reviewed articles. Like every other round in the history of the GA Cup, success depended upon reviewing oldest-nominated articles. For example, Johanna reviewed 5 articles that were worth the highest possible points. Congrats to all our finalists, and good luck! Stay tuned to this space for more information about the 2nd GA Cup, including overall statistics and how this competition has affected Wikipedia. We regret to inform you that Dom497, one of our original judges and co-creator of the GA Cup, has stepped down as a judge. Dom, a longtime member of WP:WikiProject Good articles, is responsible for the look of the GA Cup and has been instrumental in its upkeep. We wish him the best as he starts his university education, and are certain that he'll make an impact there as he has in Wikipedia. The finals started on October 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and will end on Ocober 29 at 23:59:59 UTC with a winner being crowned. Information about the Final can be found here.

Wikipedia Asian Month is COMING!
Hi Miyagawa ,
The Wikipedia Asian Month will begin in less than an hours, and once again, thank you for signing up! Let's help the world know more about Asia! Below are a few reminders for you:
- Please check out the rules here. Some rules have been adjusted—the most important being that on the English Wikipedia, stubs may be expanded with some limitations.
- Do take the time to read the Q&A if you have any questions, or ask on the talk page.
- The list of participants has been alphabetized so you can more easily find your name and report your contributions.
- There is a template that you can use on your user page. {{Template:User Asian Month}}
Enjoy the Wikipedia Asian Month :) --AddisWang (talk)

Hey
What about Template:Did you know nominations/Echinocereus reichenbachii? It was a GAN DYK. — Calvin999 12:03, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
5 Million: We celebrate your contribution
We couldn't have done it without you | |
Well, maybe. Eventually. But the encyclopedia would not be as good. Celebrate 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:41, 1 November 2015 (UTC) |
Huh?
Why did you remove one of my DYKs and describe it as a GAN ([1])? RO(talk) 17:06, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- It was nominated at DYK on the basis of passing at GAN - on that basis it was ineligible for points in the cup. Miyagawa (talk) 18:43, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- What? Are you serious? You took my points because of the way I filled out the DYK template? Are you sure others, such as Cas liber haven't also done this? RO(talk) 18:52, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- I took three off Calvin in the final round on the same basis. Miyagawa (talk) 18:53, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- So you're saying that even if the expansion was 5x, if the nominator accidentally marks GA instead of 5x in the template they loose points? Really? RO(talk) 19:04, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- You're not fooling anyone with this accident business. The timestamps speak for themselves. You've had your decision, and I'll add something to the scoring table for next year to clarify why this is important. Miyagawa (talk) 19:07, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to fool anyone, but FTR, the version when I nomed it had 1,012 words ([2]), and the version when I started to expand it had 177 words ([3]). The DYK template asks for one, and I put the wrong one down, not knowing that a silly technicality like that could cost me points. RO(talk) 19:10, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for nominating Myeong Hee-Yu for a DYK. It was kind of a tough article to work on and I almost gave up a few times. I'm glad now that I didn't. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:59, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
2015 GA Cup Wrap-Up
The second-ever GA Cup is now over! The competition officially ended Thursday. Congrats to everyone who participated, and especially to our finalists. The winner of the 2nd GA Cup is Zwerg Nase! He earned 408 points, over 100 points more than he earned in all previous rounds. He tied with our second-place winner, Sturmvogel 66 with 367 points, in number of articles reviewed (24), and they earned almost the same points for reviewing articles that were in the queue the longest (Zwerg with 322, Sturmvogel with 326). Basically, they tied in points, but what made the different for Zwerg was the advantage he had in reviewing longer articles. It seems that the rule change of earning more realistic points for longer articles made a difference. All of our contestants should be proud of the work they were able to accomplish through the GA Cup. Congrats to these worthy opponents! Our third and fourth place winners, Johanna and Tomandjerry211, also ran a close race, with 167 points and 147 points respectfully. We had one withdrawal; we found it interesting that competitors dropped out in Round 2 and 3 as well. One of the original judges and co-creator of this competition, User:Dom497 stepped down as judge during Round 3; as stated previously, we will miss his input and wish him the best. The judges were pleased with our results, even though fewer users competed this time compared to our inaugural competition. We recognize that this might be due to holding the competition during the summer months. We intend on looking more closely when we should conduct this contest, as well as other aspects of the GA Cup. We've set up a feedback page for everyone's input about how we should conduct the contest and what rule changes should be made. If you have any ideas about how we can improve things, please visit it and give us your input. Again, thanks to all and congratulations to our winners! Please stay tuned for the start of GA Cup #3. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. |
A barnstar for you!

WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.

Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science. Cas Liber (submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.
Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to Rationalobserver (submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.

We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate.

Checking in
Where do we stand on potential episode articles that we can write quality articles on? Didn't know if you had any singled out, I know you've been working on Roddenberry stuff. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 20:04, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Well I only have These Are The Voyages for season one, so for TOS, those articles would be my primary target. I would very much like to get The Man Trap up to FA quality prior to the 50th anniversary of the broadcast on September 8 next year as I think that'd be a good choice for the front page. I think it'd be significantly easier than trying to do the same with the actual series article, which would be an alternative. Do you have any preferences? Miyagawa (talk) 21:07, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Not really. If you say The Man Trap, I shall take a look :). Stalking your recent contribs I also noticed you'd done some excellent work on "Rejoined". Were you thinking of making an FA push with that one at some point? It looks decently close in regards to comprehensiveness. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 21:09, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I had a peer review conducted on it because I felt that it had FA potential. However, I need to get access to the journals mentioned in the PR at some point to check them before I go for an FA run with it as it'll be one of the things checked. I'm rather fond of that article, it came out quite well I think. Miyagawa (talk) 21:16, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah it looks pretty nice. Could use a stiff copyedit, but I can oblige at least :) I'll take a look at my own databases and see if there's something else not mentioned in the article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 21:28, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Cal Neva Lodge & Casino
Perhaps you'd be interested in expanding that one, Sinatra's hotel/restaurant and casino.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:09, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
Great job so far! BTW on the Howard Hughes thing read the info and footnotes in the Sands Hotel and Casino article. Hughes had actually plotted to get rid of Sinatra from Sands, rather than Sinatra refusing to resign his contract. Hughes set him up by placing restrictions on what he could gamble and he went off on one for a week and drove a golf cart through the coffee shop window. It was that which effectively got rid of him. Perhaps a footnote in detail along similar lines would be sufficient in that article too. Also I think Sinatra lost his license more than temporarily, I don't think he was given it back until 1981, 18 years later when Reagan helped him get it back.I did plan on getting Cal Neva up to GA at some point, now seems like a good time to do it haha!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:40, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
Would you be up for Caesars Palace? That would be a big big one for the hotel industry. I believe Sinatra also performed at Riverside Hotel (Reno, Nevada) but might not be enough on that.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:06, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- That would be a big one. I'll certainly give it a go, but I doubt it'll be as quick as Cal Neva, which just sorta fell into place! Miyagawa (talk) 20:09, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'll try to see if I can find more on Cal Neva tomorrow but looks like you've ransacked many of the best sources. I'm up for Caesars Palace too. That'll take a few days I think. It's been listed on my user page as a GA priority for some time.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:15, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- I've just nominated Cal Neva for GA, but if you can find anything more on it then that'd be even better. Miyagawa (talk) 20:16, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- OK. The Desert Inn was another classic Vegas hotel like the Sands I also had in mind which Sinatra performed at.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:20, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Is Sheraton Skyline Hotel at London Heathrow salvagable?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:52, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can dig up. Miyagawa (talk) 18:33, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I don't mind an infobox if it has decent content, a map and photo but it looks really ugly a small grey box without anything "pretty" in it, so should you find things add a new one.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:12, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey mate. My searches through the academic databases didn't turn up anything beyond trivial stuff or the same refs that we've already got in the article.

Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:02, 22 December 2015 (UTC)WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

2016 GA Cup
Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time. The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Disambiguation link notification for February 26
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Storm Front (Star Trek: Enterprise), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cliff hanger (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
