Hi Guys! Well it's Thehelpfulone's first time properly looking at the scores as he made this newsletter and he's impressed on how much work you have all done. It's a shame to say that [[User:RyanCross|RyanCross]] has withdrawn from the Cup. 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>]]

== re the tyne wear rivalry ==

Thanks. Just cannot see anything in the article that suggests the conflicts of 250 years ago have the slightest bearing on the soccer rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland. The rivalry exists because that's what happens between local clubs. Attempting to link the political historical differences between Newcastle & Sunderland just doesn't ring true and there is scant encyclopedic evidence to support the article's implication. I've lived in the area all my life and have been surrounded by supporters of both teams. Never have I heard anything of the like suggested in the article [[User:Leaky caldron|leaky_caldron]] ([[User talk:Leaky caldron|talk]]) 21:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

== Sunderland A.F.C. ==

Just seen that Sunderland A.F.C. has been promoted to FA. Good feeling, eh? Congratluations. And well done to the collaborators who have helped copyedit the article. [[User:Mattythewhite|Mattythewhite]] ([[User talk:Mattythewhite|talk]]) 12:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

:Well done!! cheers, [[User:Struway2|Struway2]] ([[User talk:Struway2|talk]]) 09:16, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
::Congratulations. The first one is the hardest, it gets easier from here on. [[User:Oldelpaso|Oldelpaso]] ([[User talk:Oldelpaso|talk]]) 15:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

;<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>]]

;<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!

== Attendances table  ==

Hi Sunderland06.

Regarding the attendances table in the [[Stadium of Light]] article here [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stadium_of_Light_attendances.png], I have updated the table data from a reliable source but I have no idea how the graphics are updated. Is it an uploaded Excel file? It would be great if you could update it.

:Thanks. The data set is attached to the file but when I added the last 2 years the graph didn't extend so I assume it needs to be done off-wiki and uploaded again. Is that correct?

'''[[Sunderland A.F.C.]]''' is an English [[association football]] club based in [[Sunderland, Tyne and Wear|Sunderland]], [[Tyne and Wear]] that competes in the [[Premier League]]. Since its formation in 1879, the club has won six [[Football League First Division|First Division]] titles—in 1892, 1893, 1895, 1902, 1913, and 1936 and the [[FA Cup]] twice, in 1937 and 1973 (see [[Sunderland A.F.C. seasons]]). The club was founded by schoolteacher [[James Allan (footballer)|James Allan]] and was elected into [[The Football League]] in 1890 where the team performed well in the league, earning plaudits such as a "wonderfully fine team". The Sunderland team won their first [[FA Cup]] in 1937 with a 3–1 victory over [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]], and remained in the top league for 68&nbsp;successive seasons, losing the record to [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] when they were relegated in 1958. Sunderland's most notable trophy win after the Second World War was their second FA Cup in 1973, when the club secured a 1–0 victory over [[Leeds United A.F.C.|Leeds United]]. The team has won the [[Football League First Division|second tier]] title 5 times in that period and the [[Football League Second Division|third tier]] title once. Sunderland play their home games at the 49,000 capacity [[all-seater stadium|all-seater]] [[Stadium of light]] having moved from [[Roker Park]] in 1997. The original ground capacity was 42,000 which was increased to 49,000 following redevelopment in 2000. Sunderland have a long-standing rivalry with their neighbouring club [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]], with whom they have contested the [[Tyne–Wear derby]] since 1898.
