Greetings, all!

We would like to announce the start of the 4th [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup|'''GA Cup''']], a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of [[WP:GAN|Good article nominations]]! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which 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 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time.

The 4th GA Cup will begin on '''November 1, 2016'''. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/Sign-up|Sign-ups]] for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA Cup/FAQ|FAQ page]] and/or contact one of the judges.

Cheers from {{noping|3family6}}, {{noping|Figureskatingfan}}, {{noping|Jaguar}}, {{noping|MrWooHoo}}, and {{noping|Zwerg Nase}}. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to [[User:Krishna Chaitanya Velaga|Krishna Chaitanya Velaga]] for aiding in getting this message out.

WikiCup 2016: Game On!

We are about to enter the second week of the 2016 WikiCup. The most recent player to sign up brings the current total to 101 contestants. Signups close on 5 February. If you’re interested, you can join this year's WikiCup here.

We are aware that in some areas the scoring bot’s numbers are a little bit off (i.e., overly generous) and are working to have that corrected as soon as possible.--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Buckminsterfullerene

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Buckminsterfullerene you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of numbermaniac -- numbermaniac (talk) 07:40, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Buckminsterfullerene

The article Buckminsterfullerene 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 needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Buckminsterfullerene for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Numbermaniac -- Numbermaniac (talk) 07:01, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Buckminsterfullerene

The article Buckminsterfullerene you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Buckminsterfullerene for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of numbermaniac -- numbermaniac (talk) 03:41, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with your Good Article nominations and reviews

Awsomegamer75795, there were significant problems with both of your recent forays into Good Articles, both the review you opened of Ant Man (film), and your nomination and attempted review of Buckminsterfullerene. Both reviews have been removed.

Basically, you do not have an understanding of the Good Article process. It isn't about whether you think an article is good, but whether an article meets very specific criteria, from clear and concise prose to image requirements, from what's in the article's lead and whether it follows layout guidelines to whether it is sufficiently referenced and free from copyright violations or plagiarism, and a number of other rules as well regarding grammar and images, article breadth and neutrality.

When you nominate an article that you haven't done significant work on, you are expected to consult with those who have worked on it first to see whether they think it is ready to be nominated. You are also expected to work on the article when issues come up during the eventual review—articles invariably have something that needs fixing, and without someone to fix these issues, the nomination will fail. As nominator, you are not allowed to also open the review, but that's exactly what you did with Buckminsterfullerene.

Please, before you do any more actions in the GA space, spend a couple of months at least gaining more experience on Wikipedia editing and improving articles, and learning the GA criteria and how they are applied in reviews. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:20, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup

Greetings, all!

We would like to announce the start of the 4th GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which 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 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time.

The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring.

Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. 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.
