:What Ed means is that if you cannot add specified comments, e.g., pointing out specific references and in-depth details, you should probably look elsewhere to spend your time.

;<big>From the Judges</big>
Wow, you guys are racking up the DYK's fast! Good articles are also coming in quite quickly, and we also have a few new Featured articles. This is coming along great so far; we're glad to see almost everyone working on something.

Also, Thehelpfulone is our newest judge. He will, starting Monday, be helping maintain the WikiCup and help us ensure all runs smoothly. It's hard to gain consensus between two editors, so I guess "majority rules" (with three people) will start to apply while we make our decision. :-P

Keep it up!

;<big>From the Judges</big>
We're still going strong.  Couple of things though; please note that you must make it known you are in the WikiCup when nominating FAs, FLs, FPos, FPs, and FSs.  This is to lower the possibility of bias.  We're also changing the way you get to the next round.  Now, the top ''two'' from each round get through, along with '''ten wildcards'''.  This means that even if you're not in the top two you can still get into Round 2, so even if you're in the [[group of death]] you can still go through.  Hopefully this will be fairer for all.  We've also unfortunately had our first withdrawal - {{flagicon|El Salvador}} [[User:Truco|Truco]] has left the Cup.  Best wishes for him in the future.

We have almost hit 200 DYKs, not far off from 100 GA's and [[User:Durova|Durova]] has passed the 1000 point mark on points, with 1347 points so congratulations to her! <small><span style="border:1px solid #660000;padding:1px;">[[User_talk:Garden|<span style="color:white ;background:#660000;">&nbsp;'''GARDEN'''&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small>, <span style="font-family:cursive">'''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="color:#007BA7">iMatthew</span>]] // [[User talk:IMatthew|<span style="color:#960018">talk</span>]]'''</span>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

;<big>From the Judges</big>
We have 31 days left, just one month left in the first round. The first two months have already produced spectacular results, and we're hoping to see a great race to the end of the round. Get those nominations in for them to count for this round, but remember that any nominations that are not promoted before the end of this round, will still count for round two if you make it. We unfortunately had another contestant, What!?Why?Who?, withdraw this week and we wish them the best.

We saw some big jumps in content upgrades this week! We saw 33 new good articles, 3 new featured articles and lists, 8 featured pictures, 5 featured sounds, and 24 did you know items. (Also note, there are 111 good articles and 222 did you know items as of this newsletter). Keep it up during the final push to round two. <small><span style="border:1px solid #660000;padding:1px;">[[User_talk:Garden|<span style="color:white ;background:#660000;">&nbsp;'''GARDEN'''&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small>, <span style="font-family:cursive">'''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="color:#007BA7">iMatthew</span>]] // [[User talk:IMatthew|<span style="color:#960018">talk</span>]]'''</span>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

== Why was this? ==

Hi Spittle! What was the reason for this [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User%3AJimbo_Wales&diff=274529127&oldid=274086849 revert]? That edit seemed like a good faith one to me (adding a translation as many others have done), and I could see no reason to revert it. Is there anything that I have missed (like maybe the translation was wrong)?

;<big>From the Judges</big>
I think it's safe to say that this week is probably your last chance to nominate anything for promotion to count in this round, so start planning that all-important final push.  Bear in mind that anything not promoted this month will still count in the next round if you go through.  It's looking very close in the Wildcards section, so if you don't see yourself there, don't panic&mdash;you may not be too far off the pace! <small><span style="border:1px solid #660000;padding:1px;">[[User_talk:Garden|<span style="color:white ;background:#660000;">&nbsp;'''GARDEN'''&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small>, <span style="font-family:cursive">'''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="color:#007BA7">iMatthew</span>]] // [[User talk:IMatthew|<span style="color:#960018">talk</span>]]'''</span>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

;<big>From the Judges</big>

What a brilliant finale to Round 1.  With so little in it it was always going to be a tight contest, particularly in the all-important wildcard places.  Congratulations to all those who have made it to Round 2, and commiserations to all who have been eliminated.  I hope you continue to contribute as fully as you have been in the tournament, if not better!

As has been stated before, Round 2 begins '''Wednesday, April 1 2009.'''  I hope you are all ready!

;<big>From the Judges</big>

The start of Round 2 has been in some respects an explosive one, with one user in particular almost in the triple figures after just a week.  There are obviously contestants with no points or very few, but as it is so early in the round this can probably be excused.  Keep it up everyone!

Note that due to unforeseen circumstances, Mitchazenia has been eliminated from the contest.  Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

;<big>From the Judges</big>

Only eleven days in this round to go and it's looking very interesting in the Wildcard race.  In particular there is an epic struggle for the automation progression spot at the top of Pool C with only two points in it as I type.  In other news, congratulations to Durova for her 200th successful featured picture nomination on the English Wikipedia - well done!

;<big>From the Judges</big>
Hi all. Round 2 is officially over, and we're very pleased with the results. The lowest passing score was over 200! We are very impressed with the last minute pushes to get a spot, which many of you did through mainspace editing your butts off for the last week or so. We really hope that those of you who did a lot of mainspace editing this time around will take some of that and turn it into good and featured content next round.

The pools for Round 3 will be up soon; the round starts tomorrow, June 1, 2009. As always, nominations that were nominated last round but not passed yet, may count for this round. Hope to see you all working very hard, as you are down to the Top 16, and it's going to take a lot to make the Top 8!

Those of you who were eliminated and no longer wish to receive this newsletter may remove your name from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send|this list]]. If you were eliminated, but are still looking for some fun editing competition, check out [[User:Shappy/Amazing Race Wikipedia]] which starts in July.

Good luck and congratulations to those who made it to Round 3, again!

;<big>From the Judges</big>
Wow, what a big start to Round 3! We already have people past the 50 point mark, in one week. We can tell that this round is going to be tight, and we'll likely see every Top 8 contestant with over 500 (maybe 400) points by the end of this round. Keep working hard! – '''[[User talk:Garden|<span style="color:#9999CC;">weburiedoursecretsinthe</span><span style="color:#000099;">garden</span>]]''', <small><span style="border:1px solid #4B0082;padding:1px;">&nbsp;[[User:iMatthew|<b>iMatthew</b>]] : [[User_talk:iMatthew|<span style="color:#ffffff;background:#4B0082;">&nbsp;Chat&nbsp;</span>]] </span></small>, and [[User:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;">'''The'''</span>]][[User_talk:Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:black;"> '''Helpful'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thehelpfulone|<span style="color:red;"> '''One'''</span>]]

;<big>From the Judges</big>
Turns out last week's newsletter was never sent out. Sorry about that! Since we already had it done, we are sending you both. This newsletter is the one for this week though. Anyway, we're seeing you guys working really hard. There are a few of you over 100 points in the first two weeks. Also, we have switched Ottava Rima from Pool D to Pool B, and Shoemaker's Holiday (who has withdrawn) from Pool B to Pool D. Scorpion0422 is more than likely to withdraw before this round ends, because he will be inactive next round. That would leave 2 contestants in Pool B. So, to make things fairly even, we have switched the two contestants. Sorry for all of the confusion!

Finally, we know it's very early, but you can already sign up for the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2010 Signups|2010 WikiCup, here]]'''! We want to get everything ready way in advance for next year. So we opened the list up, and we'll start working things out in September/October, most likely. Information is all on the page, and you may leave any questions on the talk page. So go sign up before your favorite flag is taken!

;<big>From the Judges</big>

Some did well this week, but a lot of you didn't move much. Some are still hanging under the 200 mark. Our current top 8 are all over 200, so if you are below that line, get moving! There is a poll up at the [[WT:CUP|talk page]] about the rest of this year's competition. If all of you could give your opinion there, it would be very much appreciated.

;<big>From the Judges</big>

There were a few mistakes in last weeks' newsletter. Apologies about that. In regards to the competition, a few of you shot up in points this week. Very, very impressive. However, now that some have shot up to the top, others of you have to work even harder to catch up! There are about 3 weeks left in the round, so if you're behind, now is really the time to start nominating content, so that it can count for this round. If you wait too long, we won't be able to hold off the round while your content is being reviewed.

Per [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiCup#Shortening_the_competition.3F this] tiny poll, the remainder of the competition has been altered.. sorry!! The changes being made are as follows: "We will be combining the last three rounds. Round 4 will now last from August through September, with 8 contestants. On September 1st, however, we will eliminate the bottom four contestants. The top four contestants will continue the round with the same score. Then, one person will win out of the remaining four on September 30th." You can also see [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiCup&diff=301571151&oldid=298881740 this] change to the main WikiCup page.

Lastly, we'd like to welcome back Shoemaker's Holiday into the competition!

== WikiCup participates in the [[Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout]] ==
Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :) '''[[User:IMatthew|<span style="font-family:Century Gothic;color:#000080">iMatthew</span>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Century Gothic;color:#007BA7">[[User_talk:IMatthew|<span style="font-family:Century Gothic;color:#007BA7"><sup>talk</sup></span>]]</span>''' at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
