Welcome to the 2011 WikiCup!

Hello, happy new year and welcome to the 2011 WikiCup! Your submissions' page can be found here and instructions of how to update the page can be found here and on the submissions' page itself. From the submissions' page, a bot will update the main scoresheet. Our rules have been very slightly updated from last year; the full rules can be found here. Please remember that you can only receive points for content on which you have done significant work in 2011; nominations of work from last year and "drive-by" nominations will not be awarded points. Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter. If you want to stop or start receiving newsletters, please remove your name from or add your name to this list. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 12:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Greece Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Principality of Sealand Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! 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!

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 Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Scotland 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 United Kingdom 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 Bavaria 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.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973

Since you have done some research on diplomacy, I was wondering whether you could answer the following question. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 mandates a military attack against Libya, but, for example, Russia and China abstained from the voting. But are they still (technically) part of the UN coalition which is now bombing Libya? Since it's a UN decision, one could claim all UN members are "involved". So is Russia currently in war with Libya? Nanobear (talk) 18:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Consulate General of Russia in Seattle

Sorry it took me so long—I kept forgetting to upload the picture. It's nothing fancy—just an entrance to the office. I couldn't take a picture inside because the waiting area is rather cramped (what you can see through the glass door is pretty much it) and no matter where you stood other people kept getting into the picture. As for the actual consular area, visitors aren't allowed to go past the waiting area. Bummer. Anyway, it's better than nothing, I hope. I also took a picture of the Westin Building itself, but didn't bother to upload it because it turned out nearly identical to what we already have.

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter

Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Scotland Casliber (submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.

This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions) and Assyrian people Nergaal (submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to Democratic Republic of the Congo Candlewicke (submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!

Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims 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.

{{Today's Document}} and "Today's Document" challenge

Hi there. I didn't mean to cause any controversy with that template. It's brand new and experimental, created in conjunction with the as-of-yet-unlaunched Today's Document challenge cooperation with the US National Archives. I modeled it after the sister project templates, so it wasn't really intended as a talk page banner (presumably we could make a true talk page template if desired) because 1) this is a result of a cross-project collaboration of a sort, so it makes sense to me, and 2) it is actually directed at the reader, to point them on to an important document related to the subject and a trustworthy source. I moved it up on the page to increase its visibility simply because the National Archives is also featuring us on their site [1] and I thought we might want to do the same. Perhaps we can move it back down to the external links area if you don't like that idea?

In any case, as a major content writer, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on that challenge as a whole, rather than just about this template. If you have a minute, please look it over. There are probably plenty of documents in their holdings that would interest you personally, too! Dominic·t 18:31, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Please, note my question. Artem Korzhimanov (talk) 12:56, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Blocked for 4 days

In conjunction with this request for arbitration enforcement, your account is blocked for 5 days because of this and this violation of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Russavia-Biophys#Russavia restricted. This block is made under the enforcement provisions of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Russavia-Biophys#Enforcement by block, and therefore constitutes an enforcement action. I would impress upon you the importance of abstaining from any unnecessary contact with the editors involved in the EEML case, which, as you are aware, includes User:Sander Säde. This community has determined that contact between you and these editors is disruptive, and you must accordingly abstain completely from such contact. I would remind you that, if you do not do so, your account can be blocked after further violations for a period of one year. If at any point you need advice or guidance on any aspect of your restriction, please contact me or another uninvolved administrator. AGK [•] 18:20, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Just a head's up that I will be seeking further clarification on this. It is going back to the Committee. Especially nice AGK is how you have ignored the interaction ban on Martintg/Tammsalu from interacting with myself. And isn't it somewhat funny that Sander Sade has not made any complaint against my actions on that article, because civil discussion has occurred on the talk page. If any admin out there has any common sense, they would reverse this block in its entireity. --What's the difference between a straight and bisexual man? Two pints of lager 18:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
So, I'm guessing that no admin has any sense, that we're all wrong, and that you are the Bearer Of All Truth? Hmm. Anyway, please note my reply to you at WP:AE. I will actually action the conduct of Martintg when I have time to look into it properly, and when I'm not distracted, as I am at present, by my annoyance with you and your screeds of nonsense. If you had any grasp of the concept of fairness, you would redact your grossly inaccurate writing at the AE thread, but I am guessing that you are disinclined to do so because it's my name on the block issued for your violating the interaction restriction. AGK [•] 09:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Linking to proposed decision v final decision

When filing enforcement requests or participating in discussion about enforcement requests, could you in future please link to the final decision instead of the proposed decision? The proposed decision has no binding weight, and it is the final decision that administrators refer to when actioning enforcement requests. As I am sure is the case with the other sysops (unless they are careless in this respect), when a user cites a remedy and links to its place on the PD and not the final decision page, I have to scroll to the page top then open the final decision instead—to verify that the wording of the remedy did not change from the PD phase of the case, or that the remedy did pass, or that the remedy was not later amended or vacated by motion. This is not a ticking-off or a warning or anything like that, but just a quick note to say that it's more helpful to us than you think when you link to the final decision only. Thank you!

Russavia-Miacek interaction ban

I read with interest the request to void the interaction ban between Miacek and you.

Such an event is rare, and therefore refreshing. Good luck in your editing going forward, in the even that the amendment request is indeed granted. Regards, AGK [•] 21:29, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
