Signpost

Hi, I was just taking a look at your draft for the Featured Content section of the Signpost and just as an idea...SheiKra became Wikipedia's first amusement attraction/ride related article to become a Featured Article so maybe put a mention in the article saying this (as it is a pretty big "milestone"). Now don't take this the wrong way in that I'm telling you this just because I was the nominator....that's not the reason. The only reason is because it is a significant promotion in Wikipedia's history.--Dom497 (talk) 01:03, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll sewe what I can do :) We don'r usually mention those milestones, I think. But it would be a nice change of pace :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 01:15, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Music charts

Hi Harold! I miss those times when we would look for music charts for Latin American countries. I'm looking through old magazines and I found some vital information for the Venezuelan music charts. Here it is. I thought you should know. :) Erick (talk) 10:26, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yay. We should do that again in the future when I get back my time to dedicate to Wikipedia. Good old times :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 16:33, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Op-ed: Two responses to the 'Tragedy of Wikipedia's Commons'

Traffic report: Most popular Wikipedia articles of the last week

In the media: South African learners want Wikipedia; Editing of Israel topics

WikiProject report: The Volunteer State: WikiProject Tennessee

News and notes: Swedish Wikipedia's millionth article leads to protests; WMF elections—where are all the voters?

Signpost featured content:

Hello, thanks for your work writing the featured content reports for the Signpost. However, please don't put blank lines between list items; it makes the lists of featured content more difficult to read for screen reader users like myself. See the relevant section of the accessibility guideline for more details. I've fixed this a few times in various Signpost issues, but I'm not sure if you were aware of the problem. Graham87 03:19, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. No, I wasn't aware. Thanks for letting me know, Graham. I will be more careful next time. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 05:38, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Just send me an email, or if something else would be easier for you, let me know! =) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:16, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting you know I changed my name. EzPz (talk) 18:01, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If You Can Help

Hi. How are you? Hey I don't remember my password. What should I do? I normally stay logged in (at home) but in a few days, I will be going to my cousin's place. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 06:17, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Well, you can change your password while you are logged in, or use your email to reset your password and set up a new one :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 16:30, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. I will try that. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 17:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assignment One

Done :) While I've generally known about different types of vandalism, I've never actually searched for a specific type before . .and it wasn't as easy I thought it would be. . . so I didn't end up looking for a needle in a haystack, I learned how to better utilize the recent changes patrol, making good use of it's search options.

Examples I found:

Spam/Linking to commercial website

User or User Talk page

EzPz (talk) 21:43, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. I will leave you a follow up tonight, if possible :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 21:50, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bend Her and the Signpost

Just a heads up on a mistake I just caught: You managed to turn an image of Bend Her - a burlesque featuring horses on roller skates and female protagonists very loosely based on Ben-Hur - into an actual stage performance of Ben-Hur. There's an important difference there, I think you'll agree. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 10:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks for that fix. Yep, I agree, though I don't know much on the subject :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 16:29, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's rather obscure. I actually have a Ben-Hur image in the list of possibles for future restoration, as it happens. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 08:35, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Metamorfosis World Tour

Hey, I saw this needed a review at GAN as part of staying part of a topic, so I had a look. It's on hold. We can fix this up reasonably quickly I think. A few English grammar issues, but nothing we can't sort out. Let me know how you're getting on, or if you need more comments or explanations. Best wishes, The Rambling Man (talk) 15:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks! I will try to address all the comments this week. Ugh I wish I had time again like I used to. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 16:34, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity...

Remember how you mentioned that you were working on a script to make passing/failing/holding/asking for a second opinion easier for reviewers during the RfC? How's that going along? I know your busy so don't think that I have expectations of you (I really don't).....I'm just asking because I just want to know the "status" of this project.--Dom497 (talk) 17:58, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I'm not going to freak out :) I asked a friend long ago to help me with the script, but I think I'd have to ask somebody else. I will try to have it done as soon as possible, given that it will make GA work more easy. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 18:00, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help on reopening a case

Greetings Hahc21. Per our discussion here what is the best way to proceed? Is this going to be a new case (ebionites 3) with the old information appended? Let me know what I need to do. Thanks. Ignocrates (talk) 14:38, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! Yes, you need to make a new, fresh request at WP:A/R/C, and add the old evidence on your statement. You could also just link to the old case request, although most arbs that participated in it are now gone, since copying all that information will just be space consuming. You can read the instructions on how requesting a new case here. Remember that, to proceed with a new case, the problem must still be happening right now; you must also inform all involved users that you are requesting an arbitration case. Regards. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 05:22, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2013 June newsletter

We 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Question

Hi Hahc21, so sorry to trouble you. I know you're really smart so I just thought I'd ask you Lol. Are any of these pictures posted to Flickr allowed to be uploaded to the Commons?: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] (a photostream), [6], [7], [8], [9]. I searched flickr under the "Creative Commons" advanced option. I'm kinda dumb when it comes to this, aha. Hope you can tell me if these are able to be uploaded to Commons. :) Sorry for the hassle. Ar re 13:03, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, these can be uploaded: [10], [11],

And these cannot: [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17].

When you check the license, make sure it doesn't contain "-nd" or "-nc". Wikimedia only accepts images with "cc-by-sa" or "cc-by" licenses when it comes to Creative Commons. Licenses like cc-by-nd, and cc-by-nc are not eligible for upload :( Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 16:54, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ohh okay thankyou so much for telling me. Btw if I want to have a pic uploaded to commons (this one) is there anyone that can do it for me? Ar re 23:51, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yup. You can upload it using the Flickr Upload Bot :) It just needs the Flickr image address and your username and you're good to go :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 01:19, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to upload this one[18] but the page was deleted.. It said: "Administrator GeorgHH deleted this page after you started editing it, with a reason of: "copyvio http://www.jenniferlopez.com/officialphotos/191 Copyright © 2007 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. All Rights Reserved." Ar re 07:16, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What? it is not a copyvio. Actually, the Flickr file includes the Exif data, which makes it even more credible that it is free. Upload it again, and contact the administrator of he/she deleted it again. Ffs. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 14:08, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the template documentation

Flatlists are not permitted comma separated lists are. Please self-revert. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:14, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Have you seen the documentation? It permits both flatlists and commas; and also, what the documentation says is not binding. They are recommendations on how to use the template, but not limitations. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 13:56, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FAC Promotion

I think you forgot to promote List of Kings Island attractions after you removed it from the FAC list ([19]) (Review page).--Dom497 (talk) 21:25, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm. It is supposed to be closed by a bot. I may look into it today to see what happened with the bot. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 21:27, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, as part of the attempt to save that featured topic, I've been asked for an update on the above.

Your GA nomination of Metamorfosis World Tour

The article Metamorfosis World Tour you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Metamorfosis World Tour for things which need to be addressed.

Comments???

I was wondering if you are interested on giving comments on my featured list Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, it is currently a FLC. This would mean the world to me, if you will be willing! This time I would like to be responded other than be ignore. SoapFan12 20:22, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my! I didn't notice your other comment. I'm sorry! I will try to review it today. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 20:28, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you've got three supports (not including Crisco's, which is being held off). I'd prefer to stay available to close that FLC instead of review it, if you don't mind. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 20:30, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so you are going to close that FLC today? SoapFan12Talk page here

20:32, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, not today. Most FLCs are left open for about 10 days to two weeks. Yours has been opened for seven days, so maybe in three days it'll be closed if all concerns are addressed by then :) Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 20:35, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. :) I was wondering if you would be interested on working on Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series or Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series today? Espically on the prose and if you can find more information to add into the lead (like the broadcast history info)? SoapFan12Talk page here

20:38, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to, but I'd be lying to you if I say that I can. I sadly lack the time to do content work as of late :( Maybe when I'm full of time we could do one of those. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 20:40, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for willing! When are you back full time? Because I can wait a week or two. SoapFan12 Talk page here

20:43, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in three days can I just remind you to promote my list? SoapFan12 Talk page here

23:56, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure when I will have time again. I am currently editing here and there trying to get some projects I have in my list done. Maybe by October or so I could be totally back. Right now I'm focusing on my other duties :) And there is no need to notify me, I check WP:FLC every two or three days to check if any list is ready. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 23:58, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you so much! SoapFan12 Talk page here

00:04, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you can give you're imput for my FLC about Overlinking/Underlinking (a reviewer needs other people to give their opinion on)? If that okay? SoapFan12 Talk page here

00:11, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In my humblest opinion, overlinking is never beneficial. Even on lists that contain tables that can be rearranged or sorted, I'd advice to only use as much links as needed, and fewer as possible. For example, if you link something in the lead, then you should only link it once in the list body and once in the references. Usually, the link goes in the first occurrence of the word, and subsequent occurrences go unlinked. The primary goal of this approach is to avoid having the so-called "sea of blue" that can distract the reader from the list itself.

In this specific case, I see that Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series has a lot of things linked more than once (especially the programs), and I would advice against that. You should order the links from top to bottom according to the "default" sorting, as readers would certainly look through the list this way before sorting the table to a different order. However, most of these things are personal and reviewer preference and some lists are okay with a bunch of links, and some are okay without them. It is all in the eyes of the beholder. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:30, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I understand, but it would lack of serious visual appeal. I believe it should be left alone. SoapFan12 Talk page here

00:35, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, it depends on personal and reviewer preference :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:37, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Distinctions

Read again what I wrote. "This information" should be replaced with "Some information", etc. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 12:34, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Some" is incorrect. Mark Arsten has only used ~~one account~~ two accounts before his current account. So, as someone said long ago, put your money where your mouth is and remove the accusation unless you have evidence. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 17:46, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your tone is as appropriate as your quantification is fluent. Mark did disclose another account. Notice that he did not use "all", "every", or "only". Kiefer.Wolfowitz 19:27, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Woah, there's a lot of text down that page, isn't it? I will try to take a look later this week and give my input. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 06:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FAC

God of War II is at FAC if you have some time. --JDC808 ♫ 04:44, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let me see if I can review it this week, given that I've had a good deal of my time back :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a new article (which is most definitely a list). It's List of God of War: Ascension downloadable content. Could you look over it and let me know if there's anything that you think should be done? --JDC808 ♫ 08:47, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I took a glance, and the only detail I found by now is the prices. Check WP:NOPRICES; most product prices are not encyclopedic content unless they are deemed as controversial, or were widely discussed by the media (for example, PlayStation 3's $399 pricing against Xbox One's $499, or The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion's DLC pricings). Though in most ocasions, prices are usually ommited. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 15:01, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I had only included the prices because I modeled it off of List of Mass Effect 3 downloadable content and List of Mass Effect 2 downloadable content and both had prices. --JDC808 ♫ 19:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Took away prices. Do you think it'd be good to go through FLC? --JDC808 ♫ 02:05, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OMG I'm sorry. I didn't see your previous comment. Well, I think it should be removed from those two too. Now, about FLC, make sure that the tables meet accessiblity (not saying the don't, just double-check), and I think you'll be fine. Mayeb some little tweaks to the lead and that should be all. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 02:12, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine. How do I check about accessibility? --JDC808 ♫ 03:35, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go to WP:ACCESS and make sure that the table meets all the recommendations there :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 03:43, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it did. I've went ahead and nominated it at FLC. --JDC808 ♫ 04:29, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. I'll take a look tomorrow; I'm handling some wiki issues now. Cheers! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 04:31, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Two things. 1.) I've left some comments on the PotC FLC. 2.) I think I'm going to put Characters of God of War up for Peer Review, would you care to review it? --JDC808 ♫ 22:45, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Woah this went unnoticed. I'll try to fix PoTC's issues soon. And about tha peer review, I'd prefer if you take it directly to FAC; I'm not into peer reviews anymore since several months ago. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 23:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm gonna take it to FLC, but first, can you close this? The article was deleted although there wasn't enough of a consensus to delete. --JDC808 ♫ 19:52, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wha? It was deleted!? Damn, why I didn't know about it.... Ok, I'll close it. In case you don't have it, I can provide you with a copy of that list for you to keep. I know how hard is to make something that gets deleted. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 20:08, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's annoying. I have most of it, but a copy would be good for what I didn't get to add to my copy. --JDC808 ♫ 03:05, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I've nominated the characters page, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Characters of God of War/archive1. --JDC808 ♫ 03:29, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. I'll take a look tomorrow night :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:37, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What's your opinion on the inclusion of Infinity on the PotC list? --JDC808 ♫ 23:31, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have been thinking about it for the last two days, mostly because this is a borderline case. The issue is that although Infinity is not a Pirates of the Caribbean video game per se, the franchise has a high level of representation in it. One of the three action figures is Jack Sparrow, and the PotC set is included in the "Starter Pack", which is the one most people will get. However, the problem might be the scope of the list. Are we listing Pirates of the Caribbean-only games? or games that include the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise? or both? I am thinking about which path to choose. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 23:38, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. If it is kept, I think there should be some kind of mention for why it's there in the paragraph in the "Video games" section. --JDC808 ♫ 23:49, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, why not. Let's see. I'm not sure to keep it yet though. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:34, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have you had a chance to look over the character page? --JDC808 ♫ 20:38, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not much. I've looked over it once. I have been very sick for the past week and still don't know what's happening to me. I am receiving medical care and I am hoping for this not to be dengue or AH1N1. Hence, I've barely had time to read or to write. I'll check it out once I get better. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 21:31, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. Hope you get better. --JDC808 ♫ 21:39, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Razr Nation Shoot3.jpg

I think it can be moved to Commons, but I think it has some personality right issue. So I want to hear your opinion - May I move it to Commons? Thanks. --레비Revi^{^Discuss}_{SUL Info} 06:13, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. You can move that one, File:Razr Nation Shoot1.jpg and File:Razr Nation Shoot2.jpg also. Cheers and thanks. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 06:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first one (File:Razr Nation Shoot3.jpg was already in Commons in same name, so I changed to {{Now Commons}}. The other two, I will start using CommonsHelper. --레비Revi^{^Discuss}_{SUL Info} 06:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, true. I forgot I uploaded it sometime ago to be able to use it in my userpages in sister projects. Thanks for changing the template and managing the move; I really have no idea how those moves are performed. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 06:31, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, everything is completely done. What you have to do is change the old file name to File:Razr Nation Shoot1 A01.jpg and File:Razr Nation Shoot2 A01.jpg. Then you can ask admin to delete local files. --레비Revi^{^Discuss}_{SUL Info} 06:48, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be offline. So when you are done with this task, please use {{talkback}}. Thanks. --레비Revi^{^Discuss}_{SUL Info} 07:11, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, what am I supposed to do? Should I go to Commons and move File:Razr Nation Shoot1 A01.jpg and File:Razr Nation Shoot2 A01.jpg to File:Razr Nation Shoot1.jpg and File:Razr Nation Shoot2.jpg (since they don't exist in Commons under those names) and ask for the local copies to be deleted? Please help me a bit to avoid me making a mess :) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 22:10, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for making you confused. I mean find File:Razr Nation Shoot1.jpg and change to File:Razr Nation Shoot1 A01.jpg and same thing to File:Razr Nation Shoot2.jpg to File:Razr Nation Shoot2 A01.jpg. The former is on local and latter is on Commons. Sorry again. --레비Revi^{^Discuss}_{SUL Info} 02:59, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. Thanks! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 03:00, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I decided to delete the local copies and move the new versions at Commons to the local original name to preserve the order. I hope that's okay? It is basically what you told me to do but keeping the original names :) I hope I didn't break anything, and don't worry! — ΛΧΣ²¹ 03:09, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, There is nothing wrong! --레비Revi^{^Discuss}_{SUL Info} 10:03, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Statement location

I'm not very experienced with ArbCom requests (though it seems I am jumping in these days...), but it makes sense to me for the statements of involved parties to be up top. If that isn't the case already procedure-wise, maybe it should be proposed? Who better than a clerk? ;) :) ·Salvidrim!· ✉ 02:24, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is actually no written guideline saying that comments must be added at the end; it's mostly common practice. Thus, I think that there is no need to propose it, only to have the community start doing it ;) — ΛΧΣ²¹ 02:39, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Hey Hahc21, remember what you said about the overlinking situation : ″it depends on the personal and reviewer's preferences″. Would you please add that on my FLC disscussion page and say that the disscussion would remain closed? I ask you this because, I don't think I can't wait any longer. Please, it would be greatly appreciated. SoapFan12 ^Talk 19:48, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"It depends on the personal and reviewer's preferences" means that if a reviewer is concerned about overlinking, then you must address his comments or present a compelling reason of why the links should stay there. As Crisco 1492 said, the only tables that are greenlit for overlinking are sortable ones. Actually, I am going to wait a bit to see what others have to say about the use of overlinking in that list. As I said, you must establish a consensus between you and the reviewers before the list is promoted. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 19:54, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks. Can you please add the sortable part in my list now? Since, when I do it, it does not work. SoapFan12 ^Talk

20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but if I edit the list, I won't be able to perform my duties as delegate, and I'd prefer to stay as such. Please make sure that your list complies with WP:SORT before adding any sortable features. Not all tables are designed to be sortable. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ²¹ 20:13, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks. I know you said that you won't have free time until October, if you have time this weekend or week to only help me with the lead of Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (correct grammar and add more info). It would mean the world to me. SoapFan12 ^Talk

WikiCup 2013 July newsletter

We'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! 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 Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.
