I was really very much upset when I saw your decision about deletion of the page [[Le Pietre (yacht)]]. I think it is really unfair. The yacht maybe is not that notable at the moment but on Wikipedia you have other examples of same wooden gulets and even the whole companies advertising their businesses in building them as [[Cobra Yacht]] or [[Aegean Yacht]]. Believe me , it is really very exciting to have 35m wooden yachts being built in our days, and for those who understand it is pleasure to know about it. Can you please show me the way how the article can be further improved and upoladed again, otherwise it is a conflict of ineterest, as one of the companies mentioned above even advertises the not-launched-yet projects, without proof links. |

March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive a week away
WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 February newsletter
So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to 
The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and 
Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. 
Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to 
Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to 
Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, 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 receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Outline collaboration
Here's the latest addition to the religion section of Portal:Contents/Outlines. Wikipedia has rich coverage on this subject. Very interesting, especially from sociological and historical perspectives.
This is a call to all members of the Outline WikiProject and outline aficionados to help refine this outline. It needs annotations, missing topics added, and the entries in the general concepts section placed in more specific sections.
Come join in on the fun and get acquainted with members of the Outline WikiProject.

Deletion of Le Pietre (yacht)
I was really very much upset when I saw your decision about deletion of the page Le Pietre (yacht). I think it is really unfair. The yacht maybe is not that notable at the moment but on Wikipedia you have other examples of same wooden gulets and even the whole companies advertising their businesses in building them as Cobra Yacht or Aegean Yacht. Believe me , it is really very exciting to have 35m wooden yachts being built in our days, and for those who understand it is pleasure to know about it. Can you please show me the way how the article can be further improved and upoladed again, otherwise it is a conflict of ineterest, as one of the companies mentioned above even advertises the not-launched-yet projects, without proof links.
