IP user

Hi Catfish Jim. I read your response on Bwilkins' talk page and I've reviewed the way I warn IPs, so late apologies for anything on that front. However, 69.247.190.207 continues to make edits to various WP:SOAPS articles; specifically, re-adding detailed accounts of each character's job occupation over the years, when consensuses have already confirmed it is just their profession that is listed. I've left messages addressing this matter, and yet they continued to re-add the occupations. Since I asked Bwilkins to block them and everything was pointed out, they've continued to do it and other users have now reverted them and left warnings on their talk page. I'm not really sure where to go from here, I don't really know if this is considered "vandalism" per-say but they continue to do it, warnings or no warnings, so all I know is that it's annoying and bothersome to the flow of soap opera articles which are worked so hard on. I'm sorry to ramble on here. At your earliest convenience, could you maybe instruct me on how to address this concern? It would be of much help. Thank you.

Tech Itch

Hi there. I would like to re-establish the deleted page of the UK artist Marc Caro, stage name Technical Itch. If I read correctly the page was deleted due to lack of sources, external links. He runs a record label and has released music for over 15 years. Featured on MTV, XL8R, and many magazines and live performances.

Goodbye

If this means goodbye, we're sorry to see you go. –BuickCenturyDriver 10:25, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. To be honest, it's been on the cards for some time as I've become increasingly disillusioned with Wikipedia. I could say a lot about how I've come to feel about the project, but Fastily summed it up pretty well already. Cheerio. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 10:13, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Well, I wish you good luck. If you live in the United States maybe we can talk off site. You were certainly one of the colorful and help users on this site, but you're not obligated to stay. Farewell. –BuickCenturyDriver 10:56, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Goodbye again

I hope this is only temporary as it was before as well. If not, then goodbye. I will miss you.—cyberpower ChatOffline 21:40, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

I am sorry that you are leaving us. Every good wish to the fish and the dish. Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:29, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

WikiCup 2013 February newsletter

Round 1 is now over. The top 64 scorers have progressed to round 2, where they have been randomly split into eight pools of eight. At the end of April, the top two from each pool, as well as the 16 highest scorers from those remaining, will progress to round 3. Commiserations to those eliminated; if you're interested in still being involved in the WikiCup, able and willing reviewers will always be needed, and if you're interested in getting involved with other collaborative projects, take a look at the WikiWomen's Month discussed below.

Round 1 saw 21 competitors with over 100 points, which is fantastic; that suggests that this year's competition is going to be highly competative. Our lower scores indicate this, too: A score of 19 was required to reach round 2, which was significantly higher than the 11 points required in 2012 and 8 points required in 2011. The score needed to reach round 3 will be higher, and may depend on pool groupings. In 2011, 41 points secured a round 3 place, while in 2012, 65 was needed. Our top three scorers in round 1 were:

  1. Colorado Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), primarily for an array of warship GAs.
  2. London Miyagawa (submissions), primarily for an array of did you knows and good articles, some of which were awarded bonus points.
  3. New South Wales Casliber (submissions), due in no small part to Canis Minor, a featured article awarded a total of 340 points. A joint submission with Alaska Keilana (submissions), this is the highest scoring single article yet submitted in this year's competition.

Other contributors of note include:

Featured topics have still played no part in this year's competition, but once again, a curious contribution has been offered by British Empire The C of E (submissions): did you know that there is a Shit Brook in Shropshire? With April Fools' Day during the next round, there will probably be a good chance of more unusual articles...

March sees the WikiWomen's History Month, a series of collaborative efforts to aid the women's history WikiProject to coincide with Women's History Month and International Women's Day. A number of WikiCup participants have already started to take part. The project has a to-do list of articles needing work on the topic of women's history. Those interested in helping out with the project can find articles in need of attention there, or, alternatively, add articles to the list. Those interested in collaborating on articles on women's history are also welcome to use the WikiCup talk page to find others willing to lend a helping hand. Another collaboration currently running is an an effort from WikiCup participants to coordinate a number of Easter-themed did you know articles. Contributions are welcome!

A few final administrative issues. From now on, submission pages will need only a link to the article and a link to the nomination page, or, in the case of good article reviews, a link to the review only. See your submissions' page for details. This will hopefully make updating submission pages a little less tedious. 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. 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.

...But, I LOVE You..!!

Beloved friend, never forgotten

Was it something I said? Or the soapdish? A personal goal, to break hearts? How about if you just semi-retire? I am quite serious about wanting at the least to stay in contact. Will you email me?? This is a bummer. I do like and care for you, even if you are a million miles away!! What's that song? "If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right"? That sums it up nicely. :( --Leahtwosaints (talk) 10:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
